Treasure Hunt Jena
A hint of adventure drifts through Jena, offering an idyllic backdrop for a memorable team building experience. Leave the routine behind and dive into the CityHunters treasure hunt, where colleagues set off together in search of a hidden prize, guided by the CityHunters app, smartphones, and a dash of curiosity.
Discover Jena in a new way
The journey can begin at Kirchplatz 6, though it can easily be moved to another central start point to fit the group's plans. Jena’s mix of academic energy and cultural charm provides plenty to captivate participants: the skyline-defining JenTower, the historic University of Jena, the curious displays at the Phyletic Museum, the Optical Museum Jena, the Jena Observatory and Planetarium Jena, the literary atmosphere of the Romantikerhaus, the quiet beauty of St. Michael, the fascinating Pre- and protohistorical collection at the University of Jena, and the Volkshaus Jena all become landmarks and clues on the route.
An adventure that brings teams together
The CityHunters treasure hunt is more than a team building event in Jena — it doubles as a genuine team building experience. As teams move through streets and squares, they solve clever puzzles, piece together clues and coordinate their efforts to reach the hidden goal. That hands-on cooperation naturally sharpens communication, fosters camaraderie and gives colleagues a shared challenge to bond over.
A company outing full of surprises
A company outing to Jena is also an opportunity to enjoy regional flavors once the treasure hunt wraps up. Teams can relax in one of the city’s welcoming restaurants and sample Thuringian specialties such as rostbrätel or traditional Thuringian dumplings, turning an active day into a well-rounded celebration—ideal for an office gathering or a company summer party.
Jena — the perfect setting for your team building event
Jena blends urban energy with historical charm, creating a comfortable atmosphere where teams can focus on the task at hand. The variety of attractions and the city’s lively past make it an excellent location for a team building experience. Whether meandering through the old town, checking out modern architecture like the JenTower, or stopping by the University of Jena’s collections, there’s something on the route for every interest.
An unforgettable experience awaits
The CityHunters treasure hunt in Jena delivers an engaging, educational and entertaining experience that helps teams get to know one another while seeing the city from a fresh angle.
