Treasure Hunt Marburg
A fresh morning brings the perfect excuse for an adventure that will surprise even the most seasoned colleagues. Welcome to Marburg, where the cityscape becomes the stage for a memorable team building experience. The CityHunters treasure hunt team building event hands each group a smartphone and the CityHunters app, sending teams off through Marburgs charming streets to track down clues and crack clever puzzles — a spirited way to build teamwork while uncovering the citys history.
Your adventure begins at the marketplace
The starting line is the historic marketplace, framed by timbered houses and the town hall, where the mission kicks off. From there, the route weaves past landmarks such as St. Elisabeth's Church and the Alte Universität Marburg, with detours offering glimpses of the Marburg University Library and the intimate Chapel St. Michael (Marburg). Each corner reveals another chapter of the citys character, setting the scene for an engaging Scavenger Hunt.
Discover Marburgs hidden treasures
Marburg is a city of stories, and the treasure hunt makes those stories tangible. Teams will encounter the commanding Marburger Schloss perched above the town, stroll through the Alter Botanischer Garten Marburg, and pass institutions like the Hessian State Archives of Marburg. Science and curiosity get their moment at spots such as the Museum anatomicum and the Mineralogical museum of the Philipps-University, all inviting exploration and conversation during the Scavenger Hunt.
Teamwork and challenge in perfect harmony
This CityHunters treasure hunt is more than sightseeing — it is a compact exercise in communication, strategy and cooperation. Every found clue and solved task tightens team bonds and reveals new strengths among colleagues. While navigating winding lanes and historic courtyards, teams will also encounter local culinary treats that make a welcome pause and refuel for the next stage of the challenge. The whole experience is designed to be a lively, constructive way to deepen collaboration.
Flexibility and freedom for your team building event
One of the greatest perks is flexibility: the treasure hunt can begin when it suits the group and proceed at a pace that fits. Whether integrated into a company outing, used as the focal point of a department celebration, or chosen as the highlight of a company summer party, the CityHunters treasure hunt adapts easily to different formats and group sizes. That ease of planning makes it an attractive option for companies seeking an engaging but low-hassle activity.
An unforgettable experience for your team
By the time the final clue is solved, teams will have uncovered more than just a prize — they will leave with shared memories, strengthened connections and a renewed appreciation for Marburgs layers of history. This team building experience turns an ordinary company outing into a lasting moment that boosts morale and teamwork long after the day ends.
