An Activity for a Group of 10 to 20 Friends in Marrakech

Heading to Marrakech with a gang of ten, fifteen or twenty friends promises memories to share. It is also a small organisational challenge: how do you keep everyone busy at the same time, without half the group getting bored or the other half getting lost in the alleyways? Tastes differ, so do paces, and making decisions as a group of twenty quickly takes time.

In this article, we suggest a simple approach: choose a group activity, played together, that lets you discover the old town while giving everyone a chance to take part. We will look at what to expect from a good group activity, how QuestRides' treasure hunts and interactive tours work in the Medina, and how to prepare your booking without a hitch.

Why a large group needs an activity designed for it

With two or three people, it is easy to improvise: you push open a door, sit down on a terrace, change your mind. With fifteen, everything gets more complicated. The alleyways of the Medina are narrow and busy, and the group quickly stretches into single file. Conversations get lost, stragglers drop behind, and nobody really knows where you are heading.

An activity designed for a large group solves these problems by providing a common thread. When everyone is pursuing the same goal, you stay together, chat and laugh together. The Medina is explored on foot, which is ideal for a group of friends: the route becomes the backdrop to a game rather than a logistical constraint.

What a good activity for 10 to 20 friends should offer

Before booking, here are a few criteria to keep in mind:

Participation from everyone. The activity should not rely on two or three people leading while the others follow.
An atmosphere, not just a tour. Friends get together to have fun: a game with riddles and challenges creates more lively moments than a simple explanation.
Real contact with the city. Ideally, you discover the historical heritage while playing, rather than staying in a room or an enclosed venue.
Flexibility. The group may include very competitive players and more contemplative ones: the activity must suit both profiles.
A souvenir to take home. After the trip, a keepsake of the day helps prolong the good mood.

This is precisely what QuestRides aims to offer, with interactive treasure hunts and interactive guided tours in the Medina, played on a smartphone. Groups of friends of up to 20 people can take part.

The treasure hunt in the Medina: the collective game option

For a group of friends, the treasure hunt is often the most natural format. At QuestRides, the hunt “The Secrets of Moulay Hassan” is played on a smartphone: you follow an immersive narrative, solve riddles and take on challenges while discovering the historical heritage of the old town.

Levels from Easy to Hard

In a group of fifteen friends, not everyone has the same taste for brain-teasers. The hunt offers levels ranging from Easy to Hard. You can therefore adjust the intensity to the mood of the group: a relaxed approach to enjoy the stroll, or a tougher challenge for those who like to think.

Cooperative or competitive

Two game modes are available. In cooperative mode, the group moves forward together towards the same goal, which suits groups of friends who want to share every discovery. In competitive mode, you pit yourselves against one another, rekindling the spirit of friendly rivalry that many groups love. It is up to you to choose according to your friends' personalities.

A recap and a certificate

At the end of the game, you receive a photo and video recap, and a certificate is awarded. There is nothing like it for keeping a shared memory and for reviving the jokes once you are back home. To find out more about the game, see the page on the treasure hunt in Marrakech.

The interactive guided tour: a tailor-made route

Does your group prefer a more cultural approach, or want to tailor the experience to a specific interest? The interactive guided tour is made for that. It is a tailor-made route with an immersive narrative, in which you choose the duration, the theme and the options.

This flexibility is valuable when organising a trip with several people: you can fit the tour into your schedule without disrupting the rest of the day. Here too, a photo and video recap report can be downloaded at the end. All the details can be found on the page about interactive guided tours.

Preparing the booking and the day

How to book

Booking is done via the questrides.com website. You then request a secure payment link on WhatsApp: there is no direct online payment on the site. For the treasure hunt, a 30% deposit is required at booking, and the balance is paid on site. For the guided tour, the full amount is paid via a payment link, and the tour link is then sent to you.

A few practical tips for a large group

Appoint a point of contact. One person takes care of the booking and the communication, which avoids duplicates and misunderstandings.
Confirm the number of participants with everyone before booking, so nobody is left out.
Check the smartphones. The game is played on a smartphone: ask everyone to set off with a well-charged battery.
Wear comfortable shoes. The Medina is explored on foot, on surfaces that are sometimes uneven.
Bring water and allow a little leeway. It is better not to schedule other appointments straight afterwards, so you can enjoy the game without watching the clock.

If peace of mind is a concern for some members of the group, the safety page provides useful details.

In summary

For a group of 10 to 20 friends, the best activity is the one that brings people together: a shared goal, a game that everyone can enjoy, and a setting that showcases the old town. An interactive treasure hunt or a tailor-made guided tour in the Medina meets these expectations, with adjustable levels, cooperative or competitive modes, and a photo and video souvenir to take away.
