Team Building Event PHOENIX Pharma SE
Our event concept blends adventure, puzzles and shared experiences into an engaging Geocaching experience in the city.
On May 15, 2025 at 3:45 PM I had the pleasure of welcoming 38 employees of PHOENIX Pharma SE at Universitätsplatz in Heidelberg as their CityHunters team guide. After a short introduction to the schedule and to using the CityHunters app, participants received their tablets and were split into six teams. The excitement was tangible, and then we set off on a discovery tour through the Old Town.
The teams moved independently during the tour and competed against one another in a friendly rivalry. Points were awarded for correctly solving puzzles and for creative team tasks. The route led the groups to well-known sights and hidden corners, including Heidelberg Castle, the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Old Bridge. I remained reachable by phone throughout in case any questions or small issues came up. The weather was perfect and contributed to a great atmosphere.
Challenges like these strengthen team cohesion: people laugh, debate solutions, assign roles and discover colleagues strengths anew. A team building experience in Heidelberg thrives on these moments when individuals become a team and creative ideas are needed. The Geocaching format offers an ideal mix of excitement, movement and communication — elements that are essential for a successful team building experience in Heidelberg.
After two hours all teams met again at Universitätsplatz for the award ceremony. First place went to the team Blue Westies with 255 points. In second place was the team Orange with 225 points, followed by NotPillar2 in third, also with 225 points. Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to everyone for the sporting spirit and the fantastic mood.
Experiences like these stay with you for a long time and are a perfect addition to any company event. If you are planning a team building experience in Heidelberg, I look forward to guiding you on an equally entertaining and effective discovery tour.
