Escape Game Idar-Oberstein
Welcome to Idar-Oberstein, a town famed for its gemstones and storied past, and a surprisingly perfect backdrop for a memorable team building experience. Picture colleagues stepping into the roles of sleuths, navigating cobblestone lanes and ivy-clad ramparts while the CityHunters Escape Game turns a regular day into a clever, cooperative adventure. This is the kind of team building event that leaves a lasting impression without resorting to trust falls.
Your mission begins in the historic old town
Kick off the mission from anywhere in Idar-Oberstein's charming center. Armed with the CityHunters app and smartphones, teams will set off on an urban quest that could lead straight to the Felsenkirche, dramatically nestled in the rock. That striking landmark doubles as a natural puzzle board, where careful observation and teamwork reveal clues and open the path to the next objective.
Discover the secrets of Burg Bosselstein
Wandering through the streets may bring teams up to Burg Bosselstein, perched above the town and offering panoramic views as a bonus reward. The fortress is tailor-made for analytical thinking: solve clever riddles, coordinate strategies, and combine different perspectives to progress. The castle walls seem to whisper tales of past intrigues, and one of those whispers might just point to the breakthrough needed to complete the mission.
Castle Oberstein – a place of history and inspiration
Another highlight on the route is Castle Oberstein, rising above Idar-Oberstein and inspiring inventive problem solving. The historic setting encourages teams to think beyond the obvious and devise fresh approaches. Whether organized as a company outing or a focused department activity, the CityHunters Escape Game provides a lively platform for communication and collaboration.
A company outing full of excitement and adventure
Idar-Oberstein offers more than sights; it also serves up tasty local fare. After a day of puzzles and teamwork, teams can relax over regional specialties and compare notes. A hearty Idar-Obersteiner roast makes a satisfying finale to an action-packed company summer party or a rewarding company outing, rounding off the experience in good spirits.
