Christmas party with a programme
Planning a Christmas party
Six proven formats from €35.95 per person – indoors and out, across Germany and Austria.
Why a programme rescues the evening
The real point of a Christmas party is that people talk to each other who otherwise do not. That rarely happens at the buffet: everyone sits down with the familiar faces, and the seating plan ends up being the org chart.
A shared game breaks that open, because it reshuffles the groups – and because it gives people something to talk about. After two hours of puzzling together, everyone has been through something they can discuss over dinner.
Only the order matters: 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.
Six formats for your Christmas party
All formats run from November to January. Prices are starting prices per person – the larger the group, the lower the price per head.

Outdoors
The Christmas Rallye leads your teams across the Christmas market with tablets – new this season with battlespots, where two teams 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. With Christmas Domino, thousands of tiles become one shared picture that falls in a chain reaction at the end.

→What to know when planning
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 the room: The outdoor formats need nothing but a meeting point in the city centre. The indoor formats need a space with tables – your own canteen, a meeting room or a rented space is entirely sufficient.
On the budget: Our prices are pure event prices. You plan the venue and catering separately – what that adds up to overall is covered in what a team event really costs.
On the language: Every format runs in English. Tablets, task texts and the team on site all switch over, and mixed groups work too – teams can play in different languages within the same event.
On the group: Every format is bookable from ten people upwards. The Christmas Rallye, Beat the Red Box, the Christmas Quiz Show and Christmas Domino scale to 500 participants.
Frequently asked questions about Christmas parties
What does a Christmas party with a programme cost?
The Christmas formats start at €35.95 per person. The Christmas Rallye, Rettet Weihnachten and Christmas Domino are €39.95 pp, Beat the Red Box €44.95 pp. Those are pure event prices – the venue and catering are planned separately. The larger the group, the lower the price per head.
Can the event be run in English?
Yes. Around a quarter of our events run in English – tablets, task texts and the team on site all switch over. Mixed groups work too: teams can play in different languages within the same event, and they still compete in the same ranking.
Where in the running order should the programme sit?
Ideally at the start, before dinner. After the buffet and the mulled wine, a group is hard to win over for a shared game. A programme item at the opening reshuffles the seating plan and provides conversation for the rest of the evening.
How many people are the formats suitable for?
Every format is bookable from ten people upwards. The Christmas Rallye, Beat the Red Box, the Christmas Quiz Show and Christmas Domino are designed for up to 500 people, Rettet Weihnachten for up to 200 and gingerbread house building for up to 100.
In which cities does anydoors offer Christmas parties?
We work across Germany and in Austria. For 42 cities there are dedicated pages with details of the local Christmas market – for anywhere else, just ask.
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, Christmas Domino or gingerbread house building.
