Exciting City- and Teambuilding-Challenges
The Water Tower
The water tower is the symbol of Mannheim. It’s located on Friedrichsplatz at the edge of the squares. Estimate it’s volume without searching the internet.
Built in Squares
The logic behind the squared city layout can be confusing and illogical at times. Find square "L5" without using your maps app.
Missing Letters
The square layout of Mannheim's city center was established by Frederick IV, Elector Palatine, and is unique in Germany. Find out which letters are missing in the square system.
City of Inventors
Mannheim is known for several important technological inventions. Without searching the internet, identify at least three of these inventions by checking local stores or postcards for hints or asking people.
Yummy Ice Cream
A new type of ice cream was invented in Mannheim during the 1960s. This ice cream is now famous worldwide. To find out which ice cream it is, ask at ice cream parlours and give it a try.
Mannheim’s Dirt
The so-called "Mannheimer Dreck" (Mannheim's dirt) doesn’t sound all that delicious, but don’t let the name fool you. It is a gingerbread with chocolate glazing, nuts, sugar, and some spices. Find this famous pastry at a pastry shop and try it.
Hear the Chimes
The St. Sebastian Glockenspiel plays Mannheim's anthem "Ein Jäger aus Kurpfalz" and other melodies at certain times of the day. If you're lucky, you can catch a listen.
Barockstil
The Mannheim Palace was built in the Baroque period between 1720 and 1760, during the regencies of Elector Karl Philipp and Karl Theodor. Pose with the team in typical baroque style in front of the palace.
Spot the Street Art
Mannheim boasts a wealth of street art waiting to be discovered. Many of the artworks are created by internationally renowned street artists.
Cool Down at the Fountains
Kids love to splash around in the fountains located at Paradeplatz or the Water Tower. Connect with your inner child and cool down your feet in the water as well!
Swap it!
Get a flower and exchange it with someone on the street for something they want to give you. Whatever you receive, try to exchange it with the next person and repeat the same process.
Start a Flashmob
When people perform an action in synchrony as a group, it automatically attracts others to join. For example, simply looking at a specific point together is enough to create interest.
Discover Mannheim's unique character with a scavenger hunt designed for teams! Urban Challenger guides you through the famous Quadrate, along the Rhine promenade, and past landmarks like the Wasserturm and Mannheim Palace. With over 30 creative tasks, this team event blends exploration with teamwork and tons of fun.
Mannheim's grid layout makes it unlike any other German city — and our team building adventure takes full advantage of it. Whether you're colleagues, friends, or a mix of both, get ready to see Mannheim from a completely new perspective.
