Christmas party with a programme
Christmas Party in Bonn
From strolling the Christmas market to a real team experience – six proven formats from €35.95 per person.
The Christmas market as a backdrop
Bonn's Christmas market runs from Münsterplatz via Bottlerplatz to Friedensplatz and is strongly shaped by craftwork. Its most striking feature is the Bonn Christmas tree: an artificial fir 25 metres tall with a drinks counter housed on its ground floor.
That is exactly what makes Bonn a good place for a Christmas party that amounts to more than a buffet and a speech: the atmosphere is there anyway, you only have to use it. We bring the programme – outdoors on Münsterplatz or indoors in the warm, whichever suits your group.
Bonn is home to numerous federal authorities and international organisations, so a good many teams sit here. The centre is compact and entirely walkable, and Cologne is twenty minutes away — if you want to avoid the bustle of the big markets, Bonn is the place.
Six formats for your Christmas party in Bonn

Outdoors
The Christmas Rallye leads your teams through the city centre with tablets, with stops on Münsterplatz. New this season: battlespots, where two teams meet and compete head to head. Rettet Weihnachten is the outdoor escape variant.
Indoors in the warm
Beat the Red Box is an escape game at the table – it needs nothing but a room and works for up to 500 people. The Christmas Quiz Show with a host is the version where everyone can stay seated.
Hands-on
With gingerbread house building you compete in small teams – and the houses go home with you. With Christmas Domino, thousands of tiles become one shared picture that falls in a chain reaction at the end.
Planning on the ground
On the location: Three squares in sequence make a clear line through the centre — good for a rally, because nobody loses their bearings. The walk-in Christmas tree is a meeting point that teams new to the city will reliably find.
On the room: Around the centre there are brewery taverns and restaurants that take groups, plus meeting space in the government quarter. The indoor formats need a space with tables.
On the running order: The programme belongs at the beginning, not the end. After dinner and the second mulled wine you will not get anyone moving – beforehand everyone is open to it, and the meal afterwards tastes better once it has been earned.
On the date: The weeks from late November through December are the busiest of the year, and Fridays go first. Plan early and you have the run of the calendar – more on that in our article planning your Christmas party early.
On getting there: ICE-Halt Bonn Hbf, ca. 30 min ab Köln, 1,5h ab Frankfurt

Frequently asked questions about a Christmas party in Bonn
What is the Bonn Christmas tree?
An artificial fir 25 metres tall at the Christmas market with a drinks counter on its ground floor — you can walk into the tree. For a team event it makes a good end point, because everyone finds it and nobody confuses it with anything else.
What does a Christmas party with a programme in Bonn cost?
The Christmas formats start at €35.95 per person. The Christmas Rallye is €39.95 pp, Beat the Red Box €44.95 pp. Those are pure event prices – you plan the venue and catering separately. The larger the group, the lower the price per head.
How many people can take part?
The Christmas Rallye, Beat the Red Box and the Christmas Quiz Show are designed for up to 500 people. Rettet Weihnachten runs with up to 200 participants, gingerbread house building with up to 100.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The outdoor formats go ahead in almost any weather – what matters is warm clothing and sturdy shoes. If you want complete certainty, choose an indoor format: Beat the Red Box, the Christmas Quiz Show or gingerbread house building.
When should we book?
As early as possible. Dates in late November and December are in high demand, and Fridays go first. Enquire in summer or early autumn and you have a free choice of both dates and formats.
Can the event be run in English?
Yes. Around a quarter of our events run in English – tablets, task texts and the on-site team all switch over. Mixed groups work too: teams can play in different languages within the same event.
Where exactly does the event take place in Bonn?
The outdoor formats start from an agreed meeting point in the city centre, usually near Münsterplatz. For the indoor formats you need a room – your own canteen, a meeting room or a rented space is entirely sufficient.
