Introducing the Companies

Z-AGENCY is a renowned company specializing in team building activities using modern technology. They operate the TerraHunt gaming platform, which blends gamification, team competitions, incentive elements, and cipher challenges to create interactive games like Treasure Hunt, Challenge Tour, and Mystery Trail. These games work seamlessly in both outdoor and indoor settings, serving a wide range of clients - from corporations to educational institutions.

VR Tours Budapest is a leading Hungarian company that specializes in virtual reality and digital city tours. Focused on integrating modern technology with tourism, history, and education, they help visitors experience the rich history and culture of cities through interactive digital tours.

Both companies share a passion for innovation and a commitment to delivering unique experiences. By joining forces, they aim to redefine team building activities in Hungary.

When Innovation Meets Shared Values

The strategic partnership between Z-AGENCY and VR Tours Budapest was sparked by a recommendation from a well-connected associate who recognized the synergy between treasure hunt games and modern VR technologies.

After an introduction to each other’s services, both teams quickly identified promising areas for collaboration. Shared values - such as a focus on quality and interactive experiences - became the cornerstone for further discussions.

Planning and Market Strategy

In an online meeting, the TerraHunt platform was presented in detail, and potential business opportunities in Hungary were analyzed. Various strategies for selling treasure hunt programs in both B2B and B2C sectors were discussed, including direct sales and partnerships.

Both parties examined the current market for team-building activities in Hungary and explored how their combined strengths could maximize business outcomes.

The decision was made to focus primarily on corporate clients (B2B) and to launch the exclusive Treasure Hunt Budapest as a premium team building activity for companies seeking innovative ways to enhance teamwork.

The Journey from Concept to Launch

After finalizing the agreement, a preliminary survey of Budapest was conducted to identify the most attractive spots in the historic center for placing game treasures.

The joint team focused on sites of historical significance and cultural interest that could be integrated into the game scenario.

In the very next days, the creation of Treasure Hunt Budapest began. Specialists from both companies worked together as one creative team, designing one treasure after another.

Emphasis was placed on:

  • Developing engaging questions and tasks that reflect Budapest’s history, culture, and notable attractions.

  • ​Optimizing the user experience to ensure the game is intuitive and accessible for players of all experience levels.

  • Rigorous testing and adjustments to guarantee smooth gameplay and high quality.

  • Following the testing phase, optimizations were made based on feedback from early players and internal evaluations.

Launching Treasure Hunt Budapest

Starting April 1, 2025, the game will be officially available to corporate clients in Hungary. This project exemplifies how gamification, when combined with modern technology, can create a unique team building concept. The game will be offered through VR Tours Budapest and simultaneously available on the TerraHunt platform.

Z-AGENCY will manage the game primarily in Czech and English, offering full service support including organization and technical management. Meanwhile, VR Tours Budapest will provide operation in English and Hungarian using clients’ devices, thereby offering greater accessibility and flexibility for corporate events.

The business strategy involves targeted marketing, collaboration with corporate HR departments, and leveraging references from previous successful projects.

The primary goal is to establish Treasure Hunt Budapest as the leading team-building activity in Hungary and to gradually expand the offering with additional interactive game formats.

The union of Z-AGENCY and VR Tours Budapest opens up new avenues for corporate team building in Hungary:

  • A brand-new concept in interactive team building that combines outdoor activities with digital technology.
