Imagine a group of colleagues turned detectives, piecing together clues and racing to solve a mystery. The CityHunters Murder Mystery Tour in Ettlingen offers a clever mix of puzzles and teamwork that sharpens communication and forges stronger bonds, all while showing off the town at its best.
Start your investigation at the Musikantenbrunnen
The hunt kicks off at the Musikantenbrunnen, a central and characterful meeting point from which teams can fan out in every direction. If a different starting spot is preferred, arrangements are flexible. Ettlingen has plenty to discover: Ettlingen Palace with its striking façade is a highlight that invites a moment of historical reflection between clues, and its atmosphere adds an extra layer of intrigue to the case.
Mysterious clues and a historic setting
The trail leads on toward the Bismarck Tower, an iconic vantage point offering sweeping views over Ettlingen and the surrounding hills — an excellent place to clear heads and refocus on the mystery at hand. Along the way, tasks vary from brain-teasing riddles and coded messages to hands-on, interactive challenges. Every solved clue narrows the suspect list and tightens collaboration within the team.
An interactive experience for every team
The Murder Mystery Tour in Ettlingen is more than a typical team building event; it blends modern technology with the town’s charm.

On this investigative route, participants become both sleuths and urban explorers. Historic churches like St. Martin, local institutions such as Kirchenkreis Mittelbaden, and viewpoints like Sender Wattkopf add cultural depth and scenic stops between puzzles.
