Team Building Event Dahl Automation GmbH
Dortmund shines with a special atmosphere in the run-up to Christmas and invites festive discoveries.
As a CityHunters team guide, I accompanied a cheerful group of 14 colleagues from Dahl Automation GmbH on December 13, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Our meeting point was Hansaplatz, and after a short introduction we set off on the Xmas iPad Tour. The participants were divided into four teams and received their iPads along with an app briefing — then it was time to head out and start collecting points.
The tour combined playful puzzles with creative team challenges and offered a genuine team building experience in Dortmund. Passing landmarks such as Dortmund Central Station, St. Reinoldi Church and the German Football Museum, the teams explored the festively decorated streets and earned points for correct answers and original contributions. The mood was lively and many spontaneous moments of laughter reflected the great spirits.
Teams were largely left to their own devices during the tour, competing in a friendly race for the highest score. The CityHunters app kept the excitement high with a live leaderboard. I remained reachable by phone for questions, so help was available at any time without interrupting the flow of the game.
The tasks encouraged communication, creativity and quick decision-making — typical building blocks of a successful team building experience. That is exactly why the Xmas iPad Tour is the ideal choice if you want to combine a team building experience in Dortmund with playful discovery. The tour once again demonstrated how much joy shared puzzles and joint successes can bring.
After two hours all teams reconvened at Hansaplatz for the award ceremony. The atmosphere was celebratory, the weather cooperated, and the winning team was presented with medals. Such shared experiences create memories and strengthen team cohesion.
I am already looking forward to the next group, to once again blend the magic of the Christmas season with an interactive Scavenger Hunt — a perfect format for a team building experience in Dortmund and a special way to rediscover the city.
