Xmas Adventure Cologne
Experience the festive charm of Cologne during the holiday season with the CityHunters Xmas Adventure, a team building experience that blends seasonal sparkle with a clever Scavenger Hunt. Against the wintry backdrop of Cologne, teams navigate the streets, following clues and unearthing city secrets while using smartphones and the CityHunters app to track down a mysterious prize.
An unforgettable team building event in Cologne
The journey can kick off right by the Cologne Cathedral, a dramatic and convenient meeting point for the Xmas Adventure. From there, teams may choose different starting locations across the city center to suit their plans. Along the route, participants will pass landmarks such as the Hohenzollern Bridge with its famous locks and sweeping views, the Shrine of the Three Kings, and the striking façade of the Wallraf–Richartz Museum.
Solve riddles together and explore the city
This Xmas Adventure is more than a simple Scavenger Hunt; it is a team building experience that combines movement, communication and a healthy dose of friendly competition. Between the scent of seasonal treats, teams will discover hidden corners of Cologne and see firsthand how collaboration pays off. The multimedia app serves up varied challenges—images, videos and brainteasers—that keep everyone engaged, whether competing against other groups or just enjoying the shared experience.
Perfect for a company outing in Cologne
The CityHunters Xmas Adventure fits neatly into a company christmas party, company outing, or departmental celebration. It injects energy into corporate gatherings and creates memorable moments that stick around in office conversation long after the event. The self-guided format lets organizations choose start times and pace, so the activity slots easily into any schedule. Consider pairing the adventure with a stroll to a festive market or a hearty meal in one of Cologne’s traditional establishments.
Flexibility and freedom in the cathedral city
One of the great advantages of the Xmas Adventure is its flexibility. Without fixed on-site supervision, teams can begin whenever convenient and enjoy a relaxed rhythm. This freedom reduces logistical stress and allows participants to savor the team building event while admiring the city’s decorations. Cologne’s welcoming atmosphere and cultural richness—from Museum Ludwig to the Romano-Germanic Museum—add depth to the experience.
A highlight for every departmental celebration
Combining puzzles, teamwork and a festive mood, the CityHunters Xmas Adventure makes an excellent choice for companies aiming to elevate their company christmas party. It offers a shared activity that fosters camaraderie and produces standout memories for any department. Along the way, teams might also encounter Great St. Martin Church, St. Gereon's Basilica or the Roonstrasse Synagogue, each adding its own layer of historical interest.
Team building in Cologne with culinary delights
No visit to Cologne is complete without sampling local flavors. After a successful Xmas Adventure, teams can unwind with a traditional Kölsch and a satisfying meal, exploring the city’s lively food scene from rustic breweries to contemporary restaurants. A quick detour to the famed 4711 shop can add a fragrant finish to the day and keep the team spirit going.
A company summer party vibe in winter
Why not treat the Xmas Adventure like a company summer party in winter? The festive streets, mixed with the thrill of a Scavenger Hunt, offer a fresh way to strengthen bonds while enjoying Cologne’s sights. Whether admiring the art at Museum Ludwig or soaking up the glow near the Shrine of the Three Kings, this team building event brings people together and leaves lasting impressions.
