Turn the next company outing into a memorable experience with the CityHunters Murder Mystery Tour, a team building event that blends suspense, collaboration and curiosity in a unique way.
Detmold's historic backdrop as the stage
Begin the adventure at Schloss Detmold, whose stately presence sets the tone for detective work with a hint of old-world charm. From there, the route winds past cultural highlights such as Landestheater Detmold and Grabbe-Haus, each offering evocative corners to inspect for clues. The Detmold Open-air Museum provides a picturesque backdrop where the contrast between past and present makes sleuthing feel delightfully cinematic.
Along the way, intriguing stops like Neues Palais (Detmold), Martin Luther Church (Detmold) and the architecturally striking Holy Cross Church offer plenty of atmospheric settings for puzzles and discoveries. Even lesser-known spots such as Bruchmauerstraße 37, Erlöserkirche and Christuskirche can turn into surprising clue locations that keep teams on their toes.
