Team Building Event Evangelische Stiftung Alsterdorf
Old Town reveals a new, fascinating side on every tour — lively, historic and always one step ahead. As a CityHunters team guide I had the pleasure on July 6, 2023 of welcoming a cheerful group from the Evangelical Alsterdorf Foundation and sharing with them a real experience full of puzzles, discoveries and team spirit.
Our meeting point, as agreed, was at the back of the main church St. Petri, where the 22 participants gathered at 10:00 am. After a brief introduction and dividing into four teams the groups received their tasks and the digital clues with which the Scavenger Hunt through the city began. After the first stops the atmosphere was already excellent — that is how a team building experience in Old Town works.
The route took the teams past well-known spots such as the Elbphilharmonie, through the atmospheric Speicherstadt and past the distinctive Chilehaus. At every stop there were tricky puzzles and exciting team tasks that demanded not only brains but also cooperation and creativity. The teams moved independently during the tour and competed in a friendly way for the most points.
Points were awarded for correctly solved tasks and successful team efforts — and repeatedly for the best idea or the cleverest solution. I was reachable by phone for questions, but most challenges were tackled on site with a lot of energy and fun. This clearly showed how effective and entertaining a team building experience in Old Town can be.
After exactly 2.5 hours all groups met again at the back of the main church St. Petri for the joint award ceremony. The weather cooperated, the sun put everyone in a good mood, and at the final debrief the joy over shared experiences was at least as great as the pride in the winning points. Moments like these bring people together and stay with the team long afterwards.
As a guide it was a pleasure to see how quickly individuals became well-coordinated teams. Whether as the occasion for a company outing or simply a shared day out — this Geocaching event once again showed how refreshing and effective a team building experience in Old Town can be.
