Treasure Hunt Through Cologne – Science, Strategy & Snacks

06/06/2025

This summer, we put our teamwork to the test in a city-wide “Schnitzeljagd” through Cologne. Split into teams, we followed cryptic clues, decoded riddles, and discovered just how many scientists it takes to open a locked box (spoiler: more than you’d think).

Armed with maps, wild theories, and snacks, we navigated the streets like a bunch of puzzle-hungry detectives. From cathedral squares to hidden courtyards, we covered a lot of ground – and thankfully, no one got permanently lost. The day ended with well-deserved snacks and slightly sore feet. Verdict: 10/10 team building, and possibly a future career in escape room consultancy.
