The competition was fierce, with multiple teams scoring above 90 points and "The Winners" reaching an impressive 112 points, just shy of Hamburg's record.

98 POINTS at our onboarding, and in Heidelberg of all places! The scavenger hunt was the perfect start for the new team. On the Alte Brücke we discovered the bridge monkey and EVERYONE wanted a photo with it, the queue behind us kept growing! Then up toward the castle, and that view of the Neckar and the old town, I swear, Instagram can't capture it. The Studentenküsse at the chocolaterie were SO good that Mira immediately bought a whole box for the office. And during the Silly Walk through the Hauptstraße a street musician started playing the beat to match! 98 points and five new people who now know: with us it never gets boring!

Company outing. City rally Heidelberg. Alte Brücke, photo with the bridge monkey. Castle photographed from below. Bought Studentenküsse at the chocolaterie. Taste as expected: sweet. At the Neckar shore Silly Walk, a pensioner applauded. Tried asking for directions in Kurpfälzisch. Answer came in English. The panorama from the Philosophenweg was the only moment nobody looked at their phone. 89 points. Fancy will do.

Heidelberg in July, when the sun bathes the castle in honey-colored light and the Neckar lies so still you can count the clouds reflected in it. The scavenger hunt was our conference program, and on the Alte Brücke we stood, the four of us, looking up at the ruin that looks like someone left a crown behind. We stroked the bridge monkey, because apparently that brings luck, and at the chocolaterie on Universitätsplatz we tried the Studentenküsse, pralines as sweet as the story behind them. On the Philosophenweg later, with the panorama of the whole city, someone said: this is a place you come back to. 73 points, but Heidelberg you don't measure in numbers.
