Treasure Hunt Erkelenz
Experience a memorable mix of excitement and collaboration in the heart of Erkelenz. In the CityHunters treasure hunt team building event, colleagues turn into modern explorers pursuing a mysterious prize. Armed with the CityHunters app and a smartphone, participants dive into an interactive adventure that blends local history, clever puzzles and teamwork. Erkelenz, with landmarks such as St. Lambertus, the Erkelenz city walls and the Altes Rathaus, provides an ideal backdrop for a team building experience.
An adventure begins at the Altes Rathaus
The journey kicks off at the historic Altes Rathaus, a perfect launchpad for wandering through Erkelenz. Here the mission starts: decrypting coded clues from an old manuscript and tracing the path to the hidden treasure. The CityHunters app guides teams through winding lanes and lively squares, turning the city itself into an immersive game board while the Altes Rathaus sets the scene for discoveries to come.
Historical highlights meet modern tech
During the treasure hunt the app directs teams to some of Erkelenzs most notable sites. St. Lambertus stands out with its distinctive tower, not just as a landmark but as a testament to the towns long history. The Erkelenz city walls, remnants of medieval fortifications, draw attention and invite investigation. These historic locations are woven into the tasks and riddles, making the experience both educational and engaging for a team building event.
Working together on the trail
The CityHunters treasure hunt is more than a game — it is an experience that strengthens bonds and encourages cooperation. Every participant contributes unique strengths to overcome challenges, whether solving brain-teasers, piecing together clues or spotting subtle traces in the environment. This interactive form of team building experience helps improve communication and fosters group cohesion. Whether as a department celebration, a company outing to Erkelenz or as part of the program for a company summer party, the treasure hunt fits a wide range of occasions.

A major advantage of the CityHunters treasure hunt is its flexibility. The team building event can be started at any time and enjoyed at the groups own pace, making it ideal for organizations seeking straightforward, adaptable activities.
