GPS City Rally Cologne
Discover Cologne in a playful way! Your GPS City Rally takes you through the vibrant Rhine metropolis – from the world-famous Cathedral through the historic old town to the Hohenzollern Bridge with its love locks. Team building with Cologne's joie de vivre – "Et kütt wie et kütt!" (It is what it is!)
City Rally in Cologne – Team Building, Sightseeing and Team Challenge in One
Our city rally in Cologne 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: Kölner Dom.
Equipped with a tablet PC and our specially developed event app, the teams set off on a varied route through Cologne. 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 Cologne, 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.

Cologne is the city with the world-famous cathedral, Rhenish good humour and 2,000 years of history. Germany's fourth-largest city captivates with its open, life-loving atmosphere — Kölsch here is not only a beer, but a way of life. From the medieval old town through the hip Belgian Quarter to the Rhine waterfront, Cologne offers diverse backdrops for unforgettable team events.
The old town around the Cathedral is compact and easy to explore on foot. Around 50 tasks are distributed throughout the city – from knowledge questions about Cologne's history to creative team photos and small challenges. After the rally, a well-deserved Kölsch beer awaits!

New in our own game app: at the battle spots, two teams meet head-on and go directly against each other – either analogue on site or digitally in the app, whichever you prefer. the old town by the Rhine is a natural fit, because the routes converge there anyway.
