Treasure Hunt Göttingen
An exciting adventure waits for teams in the historic city of Göttingen! Dive into the lively world of the CityHunters treasure hunt and watch a team building experience in Göttingen turn into something memorable. With a smartphone in hand and the CityHunters app on screen, colleagues transform Göttingen’s charming streets into a playground of clues and challenges. Whether planning a company outing to Göttingen or searching for a distinctive team building event in Göttingen, the treasure hunt delivers the ideal blend of fun, suspense and camaraderie.
An adventure steeped in history and riddles
Begin the treasure hunt at the iconic Gänseliesel-Brunnen Göttingen, the city’s most photographed landmark. From there the route threads through Göttingen’s rich cultural tapestry, passing the University of Göttingen and the Göttingen Academy of Sciences. Historic reading rooms like the Göttingen State and University Library, serene corners such as the Old Botanical Garden of Göttingen University, and architectural highlights like St. Paulus and SS. Peter and Paul’s Church provide a striking backdrop for a team building experience that encourages curiosity and cooperation.
Solve puzzles together and uncover secrets
The CityHunters treasure hunt is far more than a guided walk — it’s an interactive mission that rewards teamwork and creativity. Teams must crack clues hidden across the city, each hint a puzzle piece bringing them closer to the hidden prize. These challenges sharpen communication and build trust, as colleagues pull together, share ideas and discover what they can achieve as a unit.
Flexibility and freedom for your team building event
One of the biggest perks of the CityHunters treasure hunt is its flexibility. The team building event can start at a time that suits the group and proceed at whatever pace feels right. It makes a lively highlight for a company summer party, fits neatly into a company christmas party schedule, or stands alone as a full team building experience — adapting to the needs of companies seeking straightforward, engaging options.
An unforgettable company outing to Göttingen
A company outing to Göttingen with the CityHunters treasure hunt leaves a lasting impression. The mix of historic charm and modern app-based gameplay creates a unique experience. While navigating streets and squares, teams can soak up local culture at Kunsthaus Göttingen, catch a performance or moment of levity at Theater im OP, or pause beneath the stars near the Göttingen Observatory. Culinary stops — from a hearty midday meal in a cosy restaurant to sweet treats at the market — round off the day and complete the outing.
A team building event that bonds the group
The CityHunters treasure hunt is more than entertainment — it’s an opportunity to strengthen bonds and spark new connections. Whether part of a department celebration or included in a larger company outing, this team building event delights colleagues and deepens collaboration. Teams will leave with shared memories, a sense of achievement and a noticeably stronger team spirit — all framed by the charming streets of Göttingen.
