Murder Mystery Tour Heidelberg
A mysterious case has unsettled the picturesque city of Heidelberg, and a team is called to piece together the clues. The CityHunters Murder Mystery Tour offers the chance to slip into the role of investigators and tackle an engaging adventure with colleagues. Take advantage of Heidelberg’s irresistible atmosphere for a memorable team building experience that not only tightens bonds but also guarantees plenty of lively moments.
A thrilling adventure in Heidelberg awaits
The Murder Mystery Tour kicks off at Heidelberg University, where centuries of academic history set the scene. From there the route weaves through the narrow streets of the Old Town, leading past landmarks such as Heidelberg Castle and the Old Bridge spanning the Neckar. These iconic spots provide atmospheric backdrops to get everyone in the detective mood as the hunt begins.
A team building event in Heidelberg full of puzzles and challenges
During this team building event participants will uncover clues, solve tricky puzzles and coordinate strategy as a unit. The Church of the Holy Spirit and the Jesuitenkirche (Heidelberg) offer dramatic settings for critical moments in the investigation, while stops at the Heidelberg University Library and Peterskirche add variety to the trail. The Murder Mystery Tour blends elements of a Scavenger Hunt with immersive storytelling, encouraging creative problem solving that transfers directly to the workplace.
Heidelberg – the perfect backdrop for your team building experience
Heidelberg’s mix of historic architecture and vibrant street life creates an inspiring stage for any company outing. Between clues, teams can take in cultural highlights at the Kurpfälzisches Museum, admire the enormous Heidelberg Tun, or head to the Thingstätte Heidelberg for a striking perspective over the city. Local cafés and eateries near the university provide the perfect pause to refuel and reflect on emerging leads.
Flexibility and freedom for your team
One major advantage of the Murder Mystery Tour is its flexibility. Teams decide when and where to start, making the experience easy to slot into a company summer party, to serve as the highlight of a department celebration, or to run as a standalone company outing. The intuitive CityHunters app turns smartphones into investigative tools, allowing groups to work independently without external supervision and keeping the event both low-effort and high-quality.
