Front and centre is the Xmas Adventure, our tour for the festive season. You can book any of these tours as a team building event.
In teams, you puzzle your way through Herisau, collect points, and afterwards celebrate the team with the most points over dinner. The programme comes from myCityHunt, you choose the venue and menu yourselves.
A Christmas party in Herisau needs two things to come together: a room and a reason for everyone to actually talk to each other before the food arrives. We bring the second part. Your team building runs as a puzzle tour, played in small teams through our app — the app shows the route, sets the riddles, codes and photo challenges, collects the answers and keeps score as the afternoon goes on. Nobody needs anything beyond a charged phone.
In Herisau you can choose between our Xmas Adventure, Escape Game, Murder Mystery Tour or Treasure Hunt — all built on the same idea, each with its own character. The route for each tour is fixed, leading teams past the Kantonales Regierungsgebäude, the Staatsarchiv Appenzell Ausserrhoden, the Black House and the Wetter House, with the Walsersches duplex house adding another stop worth photographing. How quickly a team moves between stations is entirely up to them. The whole thing covers around four kilometres on foot and takes about three hours, with a team chat and leaderboard keeping every group aware of exactly where they stand against the others, and a shared gallery filling up with the photo evidence.
Because the teams are out in the centre of Herisau, the restaurants are close by — the walk from the final scoreboard to dinner is a short one, and the venue and menu stay entirely your choice. Christmas parties with us start from € 16.99 per person plus VAT; you set the date and time when booking, with booking open up to two days before the event, and pay by invoice, credit card or PayPal, always against a VAT invoice.
Our customers come from a wide variety of sectors. Whether industry, retail, government or services: myCityHunt scavenger hunts are an excellent teambuilding event for your company outing, department party or team event - and that at 6,467 locations around the world.
How about a puzzle tour through Herisau with the myCityHunt app as the program before dinner? Your team heads out in small groups, solves challenges at landmarks across the city, and competes team against team for the top spot on the live leaderboard. Several themes are available, and the tour ends in time for the meal.
The tour comes before the meal: about three hours outdoors in Herisau, and everyone is back in time for dinner. You book the restaurant, and the program before it comes from myCityHunt. For the organizer, that leaves little more to do than picking the date and putting the teams together.
A Christmas party that starts out in the city instead of at the table: your company splits into teams and heads through Herisau before the meal, collecting points against the other teams. If a team gets stuck, a myCityHunt guide is just a chat message away. The date is yours to pick, even at short notice in December, and venue and menu stay entirely your decision.
The tour through Herisau is priced from € 16.99 per person, and you receive an invoice for the booking. Food and drinks afterward are planned by you, so the budget for the evening stays in your hands.
Yes, in a single booking, split into teams that all start together. The price per person stays the same regardless of group size. Mixing departments when forming the teams works well and gets colleagues talking who otherwise rarely cross paths.
You choose the date and the time. The booking is valid for any day you like, in December just like the rest of the year, and the tour starts once the whole team has arrived. Short-notice bookings work too.
Around three hours. That makes it the first half of the evening: the tour first, then dinner with plenty to talk about.
The tour takes place outdoors in Herisau, and you can pause it at any point. If the rain gets heavy or the snow piles up, warm up somewhere dry and pick up right where you left off. Warm jackets and sturdy shoes are part of a Christmas party in December.
