Ideally, teams should consist of 4-5 members.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">Why is Smart City Challenge a ideal team building \/ team bonding?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>The Smart City Challenge is mainly about team bonding. Participants perceive themselves as a team and exchange ideas with each other while solving tasks together. We can realize team building as an individual solution in small groups with intensive support.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">How long does Smart City Challenge take?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>BITOU recommends an event duration between 1 and 4 hours. For most groups, a duration between 90 and 120 minutes has proven to be effective. Shorter or longer durations are possible but require an individual concept.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">What is the difference between Smart City Challenge and a ordinary geocatching?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>The Smart City Challenge is a kind of advancement of the classic geocaching. By using mobile phones instead of GPS devices, many new possibilities have emerged that make the event more varied.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">Are individualizations possible?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>Yes, definitely! We can add individual questions. We can also put your logo on the mobile phone surface and change the points that need to be run individually. Or do you need your own complete \u201cgame\u201d? No problem, that\u2019s possible too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-accordion  pb10 pb12@sm pb16@md pb20@lg pb24@xl\" id=\"block_acf-block-6597e0f4effa9\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<h2 class=\"\">Location<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"js-accordion bt bc-contour\" data-accordion-multiselectable=\"none\"><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">Where can the Smart City Challenge take place?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>The Smart City Challenge can take place throughout Europe. (Only the immediate vicinity of airports and military facilities is excluded, as GPS signals may be disrupted there). On request, the Smart City Challenge can also be started simultaneously in several cities. By the way, the Smart City Challenge can also take place in nature, even if the name does not suggest it.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">Can the Smart City Challenge start directly at my conference location?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>Yes, where ever your conference takes place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-accordion  pb10 pb12@sm pb16@md pb20@lg pb24@xl\" id=\"block_acf-block-6597e0f4f0071\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<h2 class=\"\">Technology<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"js-accordion bt bc-contour\" data-accordion-multiselectable=\"none\"><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">What technology do I need?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>You participate in the Smart City Challenge with your own smartphone.
