Mews's Barcelona Team Called the Hunt “Suuuper Cool”
Sara Denise Arzan posted the review before the invoice even landed in her finance team's inbox.
The short version
A 10-person team from Mews booked a straightforward treasure hunt through the Gothic Quarter. No special logistics, no large-group staffing plan — just a simple central meeting point and a guide who kept things fun. The organizer posted a glowing review the same evening, before the invoice even reached her own finance team.

“We had an amazing time at the Treasure hunt - it was suuuper cool!!”
The Brief: A Hospitality Tech Team's Barcelona Meetup
Sara Denise Arzan's inquiry for a teambuilding Barcelona activity for her colleagues at Mews, the hospitality cloud software company, set up a small group of 10 for a Monday-afternoon event.
The Solution: A Simple Meeting Point in the Gothic Quarter
Event Manager Martina Martišková set the meeting point just outside the Jaume I Metro exit in front of Hotel Suizo, with the route finishing at Plaça de Sant Miquel. Guide Javier was assigned to lead the group through the game.
Execution: Photos, a Photogenic Pigeon, and a Prompt Review
Sara's reaction landed the same evening as the event: “We had an amazing time at the Treasure hunt - it was suuuper cool!!” Once Martina followed up with a batch of photos from the hunt — including, memorably, one particularly photogenic pigeon that photobombed the group — Sara had already gone ahead and posted her review.
Results and Client Testimonial
Sara's feedback was enthusiastic from the very first message, and stayed that way through to the end:
“Thank you so much! I already did drop a review - we really had an amazing time! I will send the invoice to our finance team and they will take care of it.”
— Sara Denise Arzan, Mews
Outcome at a glance:
- A simple, central meeting point outside a well-known metro exit, easy for the group to find
- A guide, Javier, who kept a small group of 10 engaged throughout
- A review posted proactively, before the organizer was even asked twice
- The invoice routed cleanly to the finance team for prompt handling
Key Takeaways
A small, focused group like Mews's team of 10 shows that a teambuilding Barcelona event doesn't need a huge headcount to generate real enthusiasm — Sara's “suuuper cool” reaction came in the same evening as the event itself. Following up with photos afterward, as Martina did here, is a simple touch that keeps the experience alive after the game ends — and, in Sara's case, was clearly appreciated enough to prompt a review before she was even asked a second time.

What makes a good teambuilding Barcelona activity for a small team?
A focused, central route like the one Mews's 10-person team experienced near the Gothic Quarter proves that a teambuilding Barcelona event can generate real enthusiasm regardless of group size.
Do we receive photos from the event afterward?
Yes — as with this Mews booking, a batch of photos from your hunt is shared afterward, often capturing some unexpected and memorable moments along the way.
Can the invoice be routed directly to our finance team?
Absolutely — as Sara did for Mews, you can simply forward the invoice to your own finance or accounting team to handle payment.
Will we be asked more than once to leave a review?
Not if you're as quick as Sara was — many clients post their feedback before we even get the chance to follow up a second time.
Do you work with hospitality and travel technology companies?
Yes — companies like Mews are a regular part of who we host for teambuilding Barcelona events.
Javier Ortiz Vargas
Javier led Mews's group through the Gothic Quarter that afternoon — pigeon photobomb included. Small groups like this one are a reminder he brings up often: a 10-person hunt gets exactly the same energy and attention to detail as a 300-person conference booking.
