Murder Mystery Tour Herdecke
In the picturesque setting of Herdecke awaits a gripping challenge that bonds teams and sharpens wits. The CityHunters Murder Mystery Tour turns colleagues into clever investigators solving a puzzling case. This interactive Scavenger Hunt is a great opportunity to boost team spirit while taking in the charm of the town, and it works equally well as a company outing, a company summer party or an unforgettable department celebration — a team building event tailored for any occasion.
An adventure begins at the Rathaus
The mystery typically kicks off at the striking Rathaus of Herdecke, a central and convenient starting point for the hunt. Alternatively, teams can choose another spot in the town centre to suit their plans. Armed with the CityHunters app, a smartphone becomes the essential investigative tool leading teams through Herdecke’s streets. The app lets groups set their own pace and experience the town in a refreshingly different way.
Discover Herdecke’s landmarks
During the investigation, participants will pass a collection of Herdecke’s notable landmarks. Expect to cross the impressive Ruhr-Viadukt, admire the Ev. Pfarrkirche Herdecke, and spot the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Turm. The route can also include the Herdecker Heimatstube, the historic Stauwehr Stiftsmühle, the church of St. Philippus und Jakobus, the picturesque Wasserschloß Werdringen and the Geologischer Aufschluss am Schiffswinkel. These locations provide more than just scenic backdrops for the team building event — they offer glimpses into the town’s history and character.
Teamwork and strategy in focus
The Murder Mystery Tour presents varied challenges: trace leads, piece together clues and make strategic decisions to crack the case. Success calls for logical thinking, creativity and clear communication, as well as genuine collaboration. Every team member can contribute a strength, whether as a tactician, a creative problem solver or a keen-eyed observer. This team building experience encourages cooperation and reinforces camaraderie in an entertaining, hands-on setting.
An experience for every occasion
Whether used as a standalone company outing, part of a larger corporate programme, or the opening act for a day of team building, the CityHunters Murder Mystery Tour is flexible enough to fit any schedule. The straightforward app mechanics and the lack of rigid start times simplify organisation, allowing teams to concentrate on the fun and the shared experience.
Herdecke: the perfect place for team building
Herdecke provides an ideal backdrop for a team building event, combining historic sites with a lively atmosphere and friendly hospitality. After the investigation, teams can enjoy regional dishes and unwind in one of the town’s cosy restaurants or cafés. This team building event will not only promote collaboration but also boost motivation and strengthen team bonds long after the case is closed.
