Escape Game Göttingen
The next team building event in Göttingen could kick off an adventure the whole team will remember. Picture a group weaving through this historic university town, cracking clever puzzles and proving that teamwork can be delightfully efficient. The CityHunters Escape Game offers exactly that: an interactive, slightly cheeky experience that sharpens collaboration while revealing Göttingen’s hidden gems.
Your mission begins at the Gänseliesel-Brunnen Göttingen
The quest starts at the beloved Gänseliesel-Brunnen Göttingen, the city’s most iconic fountain and a traditional spot for newly minted PhD recipients to lay down flowers. Armed with the CityHunters app and a smartphone, teams transform into sleuths on a lively Scavenger Hunt through the streets. Göttingen’s mix of academic charm and cobbled lanes provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable team building experience.
See Göttingen from a fresh angle
The app guides participants to some of the city’s most notable sites. Explore the University of Göttingen and soak in the scholarly atmosphere, then head to the Göttingen State and University Library for a stop that feels both grand and brainy. The Old Botanical Garden of Göttingen University offers a peaceful green interlude full of subtle clues, while visits to the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, Kunsthaus Göttingen and the Göttingen Observatory add variety and local flavor. Landmarks like St. Paulus and SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Göttingen, plus a detour past Theater im OP, turn the city into a playful puzzle board.
A team building experience that boosts camaraderie
The CityHunters Escape Game is more than entertainment; it’s a structured team building experience. Each challenge demands clear communication, shared problem-solving and a little creative thinking. Tasks are designed to highlight individual strengths while pulling the whole group together. Whether used during a department meet-up or as part of a larger program, this team building event helps colleagues understand one another and collaborate more effectively.
Flexibility and freedom at the city’s heart
One major perk of the CityHunters Escape Game is its flexibility. Missions can be started at a time that suits the group, without fixed start slots or on-site supervision. That makes it easy to tuck the activity into a company outing in Göttingen, include it in a workshop, or run it as a standalone team building event. It’s a simple way to discover Göttingen from a new perspective while strengthening team dynamics.
An unforgettable company outing
A company outing in Göttingen is an ideal opportunity to try the CityHunters Escape Game.
