An adventure begins at the Market Square
The journey launches from the bustling Market Square, the lively center of Detmold.

The striking architecture and the stories behind these places add atmosphere and inspiration. The goal, however, is to decode hidden clues scattered across the city and ultimately claim the treasure that awaits a clever team somewhere among Detmold’s treasures.
Detmold as the perfect setting for a team building experience
What makes Detmold especially suited for a team building experience is its blend of historical grandeur and lively culture. During the treasure hunt teams will also pass the Detmold Open-air Museum, a major open-air exhibition that brings regional history to life. Such surroundings encourage creative problem solving and improved communication, turning a simple company outing into a memorable shared achievement.
