Discover Hanover in a playful way! Your GPS City Rally leads through the capital of Lower Saxony – from the royal Herrenhausen Gardens via Lake Maschsee to the "Red Thread" through the Old Town. Team building with Northern German serenity and baroque splendor.
City Rally in Hanover – Team Building, Sightseeing and Team Challenge in One
Our city rally in Hanover combines exciting puzzles, modern technology and exploring the city together into a varied team event. In small teams, participants compete against each other and collect as many points as possible within the given time. A special highlight on your route: New Town Hall.
Equipped with a tablet PC and our specially developed event app, the teams set off on a varied route through Hanover. Along the way they discover not only well-known sights and historic squares, but also hidden corners that many visitors would otherwise miss.
At every station new challenges await: sometimes knowledge and logical thinking are required, sometimes creativity, skill or team spirit. The programme is rounded off with entertaining photo and video challenges that provide plenty of fun and unforgettable memories.
Because many tasks are tailored specifically to Hanover, participants get to know the city in a playful way while experiencing an exciting competition with the other teams. Through clever route planning and good cooperation, additional points can be earned – here it’s not only the right answers that count, but also strategy and teamwork.
GPS City Rally in Hanover – Why Here?
Hanover is world-famous as a trade-fair city — but it offers much more: the Herrenhausen Gardens count among the most beautiful Baroque gardens in Europe, the Sprengel Museum shows first-class art, and the "Red Thread" leads to 36 sights through the city. The Lower-Saxon state capital is officially "City of Gardens" — 50% of the urban area is green, with 107 m² of public green space per inhabitant.
The city center is manageable and easily explored on foot. Around 50 challenges are distributed throughout the city area – trivia questions, logic puzzles, creative photo tasks and small team challenges. The mix of parks, old town and lakefront provides variety.

Insider Tips for Hanover
- In summer there are free concerts at the Maschsee.
- In summer the water features in Herrenhausen run several times a day – the times change with the season.
- During the big trade fairs hotels get very expensive – book early.
- The Schützenfest (July) is the largest of its kind worldwide – over a million visitors.
- Around the Maschsee festival in high summer there is little room at the lake – we then tend to move into the green instead.
- The flea market at Hohes Ufer is a nice rally stop on Saturdays – though it gets tight with larger groups.
- In the weeks before Christmas the city centre is crowded in the afternoon – we then prefer to start rallies in the morning.
- Most stops are free to enter; the zoo and the Great Garden charge admission.
