Diamond Cocktail
One of the city's most well-known landmarks is the Antwerp's Diamond District which trades 85% of all rough diamonds, 50% of cut diamonds and 40% of industrial diamonds, and its daily transactions are worth USD 127 million. You can explore mining, polishing and cutting processes at Diamondland, Antwerp's largest diamond showroom. The Diamond Cocktail is a way to add something new and different to your event, whether during the cocktail hour, dinner, or any other time during the event.
The Diamond Cocktail itself is a glass of champagne with a three mm brilliant cut stone in it. Most of the stones are cubic zirconia, but according to the direction of the client, some of the stones are genuine diamonds. Attached to the glass is a small green cord with a card that reads, "Let's drink to a sparkling future. However, drink with care, for each glass contains a diamond. Or is it a fake...?"
Aquarium diner at Antwerp Zoo site
Popular with tourists and locals alike, the Antwerp Zoo is located next to Central Station and provides a home for more than 5,000 animals of 950 different species. The zoo is especially focused on protecting endangered animals like bonobos and okapi.
Wouldn't it be remarkable to have diner while watching the sharks and anemone fish swim by?
After the welcome reception, take place at stylish, high-round tables between the Aquarium residents. Here you will enjoy a culinary high-quality three-course menu and admire a fascinating underwater world with one of Europe's largest aquariums.
On arrival and departure, you also make a fairytale evening walk in the ZOO. Very impressive.

Go Team city game
Go Team is an interactive city game. Various teams compete against each other in an exciting journey of discovery that’s full of challenges.
Every team is given an iPad to take with them on their adventure. The discovery of a city – with its stories and anecdotes – is more important than winning the game. The players need to stay in contact with each other, talk, exchange strategies and send photos from their iPads.
Beat the box
Teams need to decipher the secret code before the timer stops.
Every team is given a locked aluminium trunk. A mysterious video takes the players on an adventure. With the information from the video, the teams should be able to open the trunk. Inside, there are four more locked boxes, full of puzzles and riddles to decipher. By working together and sharing information, the participants will be able to bring the game to a successful conclusion. Teamwork is essential.
