Schnitzeljagt

Schnitzeljagt is the German expression and the meaning is treasure hunt or an Amazing Race. It's a hybrid version of online / physical team building.

At the beginning of this virtual team building event, team members will receive a virtual map showing the home office location of each player.

Our facilitator is going to choose a centrally located spot, i.e. a coffee shop or a restaurant. This spot is the end location or finishing line of this hybrid treasure hunt and the final meeting point.

On the day of the event, the clues are sent to each person in your remote team and participants must decipher the clues and travel to the end location as fast as possible.

The first person who can find the finishing line (end location) is the winner and shall receive a prize.

After the end of the event, participants can work for an hour or two together at the coffee shop, or have lunch together, before returning to home. This provides your staff with a welcome change to the monotony and boredom of working alone in their home office. Schedule half a day or maximum three quarter of a day for this exciting virtual team building activity.

Schnitzeljagt is a hybrid between real physical team building and virtual team building. It should only be done in an area where Covid19 restrictions have been eased.

It works best for organizations where remote workers live relatively close to each other, i.e. in the same city or suburbs.
