Scavenger Hunt Erlangen
Experience Erlangen in a fresh, lively way with the CityHunters Scavenger Hunt, a team building event that blends friendly competition with the citys charming streets. Known for its rich history and vibrant cultural scene, Erlangen provides a scenic backdrop for a team building experience that brings colleagues closer and reveals new angles of the city.
Start point: Hugenottenplatz 5
The adventure kicks off at the centrally located Hugenottenplatz 5, a convenient launch pad for exploring Erlangen. From there the route winds through the historic downtown, though the tour can be arranged to start elsewhere in the city center to suit the groups needs. During this team building event participants will pass notable sites and get to know coworkers in an entirely new light.
Discover Erlangens attractions
On the Scavenger Hunt teams will encounter many of Erlangens highlights, including the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg and its University Library, the peaceful Botanischer Garten Erlangen, and the striking Neustädter Kirche. Stops can also include the Huguenot Church, the Erlangen city museum, the Aromagarten Erlangen and the Altstädter Pfarrkirche, each offering unique puzzles and photo opportunities that blend local flavor with clever challenges.
Team spirit through playful challenges
The CityHunters Scavenger Hunt is far more than a stroll; it is a chance to showcase teamwork through playful, thoughtfully designed tasks. Whether the focus is on logical reasoning, clear communication or tight organization, every team member can contribute strengths to drive the group forward. The format promotes collaboration, sparks creativity and leaves teams with memorable moments that last beyond the finish line.
Perfect for a company outing or department celebration
This Scavenger Hunt is an ideal highlight for a company outing or as the centerpiece of a department celebration. The mix of outdoor exploration and engaging assignments makes the team building event a memorable way to strengthen bonds. Take the opportunity to sample local specialties and unwind afterwards in one of Erlangens welcoming beer gardens — a relaxed end to a productive day.
An experience with lasting impact
At the end of the Scavenger Hunt teams will carry with them a shared experience that boosts morale and teamwork long after the day ends. This team building experience not only enhances motivation and cohesion but also creates lasting memories. Whether used for a company summer party, a company outing or even as part of a company christmas party, the Scavenger Hunt turns Erlangens beauty and variety into a meaningful occasion for any team.
