Old Dubai Food Scavenger Hunt

  • AED 410
  • 3.5 hours
  • Deira and Bur Dubai, Dubai

Crack a deadly and delicious crime case around the historic Dubai creek. Join a public hunt or let us plan your own exclusive private party or corporate team-building hunt.

Embark on a mission to solve a deadly crime that’s unfolding across the alleys of the Deira and Bur Dubai souks. This exhilarating game combines brain teasers with delicious flavours across Dubai’s hidden gems. It makes for a fantastic team building exercise, unique birthday bash, bachelorette activity or just a fun evening out with friends.

You and your group will be divided up into squads and pitted against the others to crack the case before the bad guys get away! Be prepared for a mission that throws challenging puzzles and cryptic codes, some of which can only be solved by eating certain foods in the neighborhood. Your group will not go home hungry!

The mission clues are delivered through a mobile app which is free to download on Android and Apple. Through the duration of the tour, the mission will layer food tastings and historical information with a fictional crime thriller.

This mission, should your team choose to accept it, is one that requires an appetite, competitive spirit, rapid problem-solving skills and a good sense of humour.

This game is designed and run in collaboration with Wander with Nada.

Private upon request, or choose our Self-Play option on any day you like!
