Escape Game Varel
Varel, the charming town in the heart of Lower Saxony, makes for a picture-perfect setting for a team building experience in Varel. The tranquil streets and layers of history provide inspiration as teams face a captivating challenge together. CityHunters Escape Game invites participants to adopt the mantle of sleuths, solving clever puzzles outdoors while the town’s character quietly cheers them on, leaving squads with strengthened bonds and memorable moments.
Start your mission at Schlossplatz
The adventure kicks off at the scenic Schlossplatz 6, a natural launch point for a team building event in Varel. Alternatively, teams can begin from another spot in the town center to tailor the route. Equipped with the CityHunters App and a smartphone, participants set off on an app-guided Scavenger Hunt, decoding secret messages and tackling tasks while navigating Varel’s lanes and squares.
Experience Varel's sights
The route leads past several of Varel’s notable landmarks. The Varel palace church offers an impressive architectural sight, while the Wasserturm Varel rises as a proud reminder of the town’s past. The Varel windmill stands as a local emblem of traditional craft, and the Church of Peace and St. Bonifatius add further historical depth. The Heimatmuseum Varel and the bustling Schlossplatz round out a route rich in culture and stories. These locations create an ideal backdrop for a team building experience in Varel.
Strengthen the team spirit
CityHunters Escape Game is more than an activity — it’s a chance to boost cohesion and tackle challenges together. Whether booked as a company outing, woven into a department get-together, or chosen for a company summer party, this interactive experience encourages clearer communication and mutual trust. Every solved puzzle moves the team closer to success and creates shared moments that stick.
Culinary delights and local anecdotes
After a day of clues and discoveries, Varel tempts with regional flavors best enjoyed in cozy restaurants and cafés. The local Frisian cuisine pairs perfectly with conversations about the day’s highlights, and a few hometown stories heard along the way add color and context to the experience, making the visit feel complete.
Flexibility and freedom for your team building event
One of the great perks of the CityHunters Escape Game is its flexibility: missions can start at a time that suits the group, and the schedule can be adapted to fit a larger company outing or a standalone team building event. Enjoy the freedom to shape the day, explore Varel from a fresh angle, and become part of a lively story that will be remembered long after the final puzzle is solved.
