Our mission
The little tale of Quests to go
Creation is our business and player experience is our expertise.
We’ve been bringing entertainment right to the people ever since we founded our company in 2016. Our first creation, Trik Truk – Expériences ludiques, provides mobile escape rooms that can go anywhere in Quebec.
Every year since then, we’ve been adding new mobile games, including our client favourite: a game of riddles and deduction based on the world of Sherlock Holmes.
2019
In early 2019, we started getting a lot of requests to create original activities for specific contexts so we took triktruk and added custom games.
Our reputation grew and Loto-Québec invited us to a special project to create new instant lottery games. 2019 also marked a major milestone in our development. We landed our first contract for an outdoor guided walk that would give visitors a fun way to explore a new site. That’s how Le Mystère des Serpents Noirs was born.
2020
In 2020, the pandemic and social distancing put our creativity to the test and we created a new division, Parcours ludiques. The goal is to allow visitors to explore a city, trail or any outdoor space in a fun and safe way. It was an immediate hit!
2021
In 2021, we saw a business need for an effective, affordable team-building activity that could be easily implemented with very little logistical involvement so we created a corporate GPS race. This 75-minute activity is run completely on our mobile app and the route is customized for each client.
They choose the start and end point.
2022
In 2022, we created Waiterz, a division dedicated to waiting line games for attractions and festivals. It has a lot of promise and is starting to get noticed.
Charlie Tango is the logical progression in our development. It’s the corporate entity for our various divisions and allows us to clearly position ourselves as gamification experts.
2023
Cette année marque la réalisation de projets d’envergure qui reflètent notre capacité à innover et à engager divers publics. Nous avons créé des espaces ludiques mémorables pour des événements culturels et des festivals, notamment le Carrefour du peuple au festival Juste pour rire, inspiré par l’univers de François Pérusse, et Les Cowboys Fringants parcourent Repentigny, qui a matérialisé les lieux iconiques de Repentigny dépeint dans les chansons du groupe bien-aimé. Un autre point fort a été Les barils disparus, notre premier parcours interactif qui combine un podcast de True Crime avec une expérience réelle, ainsi que des contributions significatives à des projets muséaux.
2024
Our gamification expertise reached new heights this year, powered by our mobile app, which boosted participant engagement and gamified content for major companies such as the SAQ, Hydro-Québec, the STM, and the Saint-Félicien Zoo. Our gamification trails also crossed provincial borders, extending to New Brunswick, where they continue to captivate and entertain new audiences with unique and captivating experiences.
