Christmas party with a programme
Christmas Party in Dusseldorf
From strolling the Christmas market to a real team experience – six proven formats from €35.95 per person.
The Christmas market as a backdrop
Düsseldorf spreads its Christmas market across seven themed markets in the city centre: the craftsmen's market in front of the town hall with glassblowers and pewterers, the old town market on Flinger Straße, the Engelchen market on Heinrich-Heine-Platz and others. All are within walking distance of one another.
That is exactly what makes Dusseldorf 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 at the craftsmen's market in front of the town hall or indoors in the warm, whichever suits your group.
Düsseldorf is an administrative and trade fair city with correspondingly many company headquarters, and the centre is quickly reached from the main station. For teams from the Rhineland and the Ruhr area the journey is short.

Outdoors
The Christmas Rallye leads your teams through the city centre with tablets, with stops at the craftsmen's market in front of the town hall. 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: Seven markets over a short distance are ideal for a rally format: the teams move from stop to stop without it repeating itself, and they spread out instead of crowding into one square.
On the room: The old town is known for its brewery taverns, which are set up for large parties — so the step from game to dinner is a short one. The indoor formats need no more than 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.

Frequently asked questions about a Christmas party in Dusseldorf
Why does Düsseldorf suit a Christmas Rallye particularly well?
Because of the seven themed markets. The craftsmen's market at the town hall, the old town market, the Engelchen market and the rest all lie within walking distance. A route can connect several of them — which keeps the teams moving and avoids everyone standing in the same place at once.
What does a Christmas party with a programme in Dusseldorf 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 Dusseldorf?
The outdoor formats start from an agreed meeting point in the city centre, usually near the craftsmen's market in front of the town hall. For the indoor formats you need a room – your own canteen, a meeting room or a rented space is entirely sufficient.
