Escape Game Deventer
Embark on a slightly mischievous but altogether classy adventure through the charming streets of Deventer and step into the shoes of secret agents for a day. The CityHunters Escape Game offers teams an outdoor challenge filled with clever puzzles that test collaboration and wit. With Deventer's layered history and atmospheric lanes as a backdrop, this is an ideal way to organise a team building experience in Deventer and see the city from a refreshingly investigative angle.
Start your mission at Grote Kerkhof
The operation kicks off at the historic Grote Kerkhof, one of Deventer's central squares. Teams are equipped with the CityHunters app, transforming phones into sleek investigative gadgets that guide participants to different city locations where tasks await. Decode encrypted messages, gather clues and piece together the story — all while choosing the moment and route that best suit the team's pace and preferences.
Discover Deventer's sights
The mission route leads past some of Deventer's most notable landmarks, providing both context and atmosphere for the challenge. Expect to encounter the imposing Lebuinuskerk, the Town hall of Deventer, the Museum De Waag, the Great Synagogue of Deventer and St Nicholas Church, as well as the Landshuis, Bolwerksmolen, Stadsarchief en Athenaeumbibliotheek and De Keizerskroon. These historic sites make for a memorable setting during a team building event in Deventer.
Teamwork and strategy in focus
The Escape Game demands logical thinking, creativity and tight cooperation. Each task is crafted to highlight individual strengths and encourage clear communication, whether the team leans on analytical reasoning, quick decision-making or inventive problem solving. The result is not just a completed mission but also a strengthened team dynamic that carries back into the workplace.
A flexible team building event for any occasion
CityHunters Escape Game is an excellent choice for a company outing to Deventer, a department celebration, a company summer party or even a company christmas party. Its flexibility allows the activity to fit smoothly into schedules — as the highlight of a workshop or as a standalone outing — while guaranteeing engagement and shared enjoyment. It’s a chance to see colleagues in a new light and tackle Deventer’s challenges together.
An unforgettable experience in Deventer
With its mix of history, culture and picturesque streets, Deventer provides the perfect stage for a team building experience that will linger in memory. After successfully finishing the mission, indulge in local treats such as a Deventer Koek to cap the day. The Escape Game creates moments that bring teams closer and write a small chapter of shared story worth retelling back at the office.
