Team Building Event Bezirk Schwaben
As a team guide for CityHunters, I had the pleasure on September 12, 2024, of accompanying 22 colleagues from the company Bezirk Schwaben on an exciting Murder Mystery Geocaching in Augsburg. Punctually at 2:00 PM everyone met at Elias-Holl-Platz — a lively starting point for our shared adventure. Even during the greetings you could feel the anticipation: perfect for an energetic team building experience in Augsburg.
After a brief introduction I split the group into four teams. Each team received a tablet with our special app — technology meets adventure. The app guided participants to different stations across the city center, where landmarks such as Augsburg Town Hall, the Fuggerei and the Cathedral of Our Lady served as the backdrop for mysterious cases. Along the way we also passed places that tell the story of the city, like the historic water management system and the Augsburger Puppenkiste.
The teams worked independently during the tour and competed in a friendly contest to score the most points. Points were awarded for correctly solving puzzles and for completing team tasks together — creativity, communication and speed were required. I was reachable by phone throughout the game to help with questions or technical issues, but I deliberately stayed in the role of facilitator so the teams could develop their own thinking and collaboration.
After two entertaining hours all groups returned to Elias-Holl-Platz for the closing round and award ceremony. The atmosphere was exuberant; there was laughter, lively discussion and sharing of results. First place went to the team Die glorreichen 5 with 255 points and they received well-deserved medals. In second place came Die Schlawiner with 210 points, followed by Die Spätzle Gang with 165 points.
Events like these clearly show how team building experiences in Augsburg are not only fun but also foster real cohesion. As a team guide I especially enjoy seeing colleagues discover new sides of their city, be challenged and celebrate successes together. If you are curious: a Murder Mystery Geocaching offers a varied mix of city discovery, puzzle fun and team building experience in Augsburg — an event that lingers long after it ends.
