Team Building Event Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG
On October 27, 2023, at 3:00 PM I had the pleasure of serving as team guide for a special Murder Mystery Geocaching event with 15 colleagues from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG in Ulm. The meeting point was the market square, where I welcomed the group and, after a brief introduction, split them into three teams. The mood was eager and curious, perfect conditions for an active team building experience in Ulm.
After the briefing the teams received their digital helpers: tablets with our app that guided them step by step to the crime scenes. Technology and adventure blended seamlessly as participants gathered clues, solved puzzles and completed team challenges. The cityscape of Ulm — from the Ulm Minster to the town hall and the Museum of Bread Culture — became the exciting backdrop for our interactive Murder Mystery.
The three teams were on their own during the tour, engaging in friendly competition for the highest score. Points were awarded for correctly solved puzzles and well-executed team tasks. I remained reachable by phone as the team guide in case any questions or technical problems arose — a reassuring backup that did not diminish the fun.
The weather was fairly good, with dry stretches and pleasant air that kept everyone motivated as they moved through the city. This positive atmosphere helped the teams find creative solutions and support one another — exactly what a good team building experience in Ulm is all about.
After three hours everyone met back at the market square for the awards ceremony. It was wonderful to see how much joy and team spirit had developed during the tour. To everyone's surprise the team OhneWille won with 0 points — an unforgettable moment that will be talked about for a long time.
Events like this combine fun, discovery and focused teamwork. As a team guide I always find it rewarding to see colleagues discover new sides of each other during Murder Mystery Geocaching and to experience Ulm from a fresh perspective. A team building experience in Ulm is therefore an event that lingers long after it ends.
