Christmas party with a programme
Christmas Party in Nuremberg
From strolling the Christmas market to a real team experience – six proven formats from €35.95 per person.
The Christmas market as a backdrop
Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt is Germany's best-known Christmas market and draws visitors from around the world every year. It is traditionally opened by the Christkind, and the stalls with their red-and-white cloth roofs stand shoulder to shoulder in front of the Frauenkirche.
That is exactly what makes Nuremberg 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 Hauptmarkt or indoors in the warm, whichever suits your group.
Nuremberg has a practical advantage for company parties: the old town is compact, and almost everything sits within walking distance between Hauptmarkt, the Kaiserburg and the Handwerkerhof. Anyone travelling in from the region arrives quickly, and anyone coming from further afield gets off at the Nuremberg ICE hub and walks into the centre in minutes. For teams spread across Bavaria, that is often the simplest common meeting point.

Outdoors
The Christmas Rallye leads your teams through the city centre with tablets, with stops on Hauptmarkt. 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: Hauptmarkt gets extremely full on Advent weekends. For a team event it pays to pick a weekday and start in the early afternoon, before the after-work rush sets in.
On the room: The indoor formats need a space with tables. In Nuremberg the Franconian inns and brewery taverns in the old town are the obvious choice — they are used to large parties, and the transition from game to dinner is a short one. Companies using their own canteen save the rental and still have everything in one place.
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 Nuremberg
Can we combine the event with a visit to the Christkindlesmarkt?
Yes, that is exactly what the Christmas Rallye is for: the route runs across Hauptmarkt and the surrounding old town, and stops at the stalls are explicitly built in. If you would rather take the market in at leisure, put the event before it — after two hours of rally, the mulled wine afterwards is all the more earned.
What does a Christmas party with a programme in Nuremberg 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 Nuremberg?
The outdoor formats start from an agreed meeting point in the city centre, usually near Hauptmarkt. For the indoor formats you need a room – your own canteen, a meeting room or a rented space is entirely sufficient.
