First week on the job. Last thing they need is another slide deck.
New hires spend their first days lost and overwhelmed. Give them a reason to step outside, explore the neighborhood, and get to know each other before the work starts.
Fits every onboarding format
Whether you hire in batches or one at a time, it works.
Cohort onboarding
Groups of 5-30 new hires go out together. Teams are mixed so people meet across roles from day one.
Remote team meetups
Remote employees meet in person for the first time. A hunt breaks the ice faster than any workshop.
Intern programs
Interns arrive excited but nervous. Send them on a hunt around the office area and they will come back as a group.
Monthly welcome events
Run the same hunt every month for new starters. Set it up once, reuse it forever. Zero recurring effort.
Build your own hunt in minutes
Describe your group, the city, and the vibe. GaiaGuide generates the full route with checkpoints, clues, and scoring. Review it, tweak it, launch it.
We have a company offsite next month in Barcelona. 60 people, mixed departments. Needs to be fun but not too competitive.
I have mapped a route through the Gothic Quarter. 7 checkpoints, mix of local trivia and photo challenges. Walking distance: 2.1km. Want me to add a tapas stop halfway?

Questions you probably have
How many new hires do we need?
As few as 2 and as many as 30. Even a small group of new starters can form teams and compete.
Can we include office landmarks?
Yes. We can add your office building, the best lunch spots, the park nearby. It doubles as a practical neighborhood tour.
Can we run this every month?
Absolutely. Set up the hunt once, then reuse the same link for every new cohort. No extra setup needed.
Can we customize the content?
You can add your own questions, inside jokes, company trivia, or branded checkpoints. Make it feel like yours.
What organizers say
From people who've run hunts with their teams.
We did this for our offsite in Brussels and it was the highlight of the trip. People were still talking about it two weeks later.
Way better than the escape room we did last year. Everyone was actually engaged the whole time because they were outside exploring.
I used GaiaGuide to build a custom hunt for our client event. Took me 20 minutes. The clients loved it.
