Team Building Event Novartis Pharma GmbH
Erfurt, with its medieval charm and lively squares, provides the perfect backdrop for special experiences.
On 22.03.2023 at 15:30 I had the pleasure of guiding an iPad Murder Mystery Tour for eight colleagues from Novartis Pharma GmbH. The meeting point was, as agreed, in front of the Barfüßerkirche on Barfüßerstraße in Erfurt. After a brief welcome and an introduction to using the iPads, the participants were split into two teams and the big adventure began.
The teams then set off on their own, equipped with the app that led them step by step to the individual crime scenes. Between historic facades and lively lanes they encountered tricky puzzles and creative team tasks that earned them points. The route passed well known sights such as Erfurt Cathedral, the Krämerbrücke and the Old Synagogue, with the goal of working out solutions together and enjoying a team building experience in Erfurt.
During the tour I was reachable by phone in case any technical questions or assistance were needed. My role was deliberately understated: the excitement comes from the teams combining clues, discussing and deciding for themselves. That dynamic is what makes our concept such an effective team experience — a genuine team building experience in Erfurt that brings people together and motivates them.
After three hours everyone met again at the starting point in front of the Barfüßerkirche for the awards ceremony. The weather cooperated, the mood was lively and everyone was proud of the solved cases and successful team performances. At the final get together the teams could not only compete for the most points but, above all, laugh together and look back on the experience.
Events like this show that a team building experience in Erfurt can be wonderfully combined with city exploration and digital puzzle fun. As a team guide it is always a pleasure to see how quickly groups bond when they puzzle, discuss and celebrate together — a memory that lasts long after the game.
