The right group event for your occasion
Every group is different — and every occasion has its own demands. Here's the right event idea for your specific group event in Mainz.
Corporate Outing
A day out of the office that actually brings the team together. Popular in Mainz: GPS City Rally through the old town or Crime Escape Challenge on location.
Team Event
Want your team to actually know each other better after the event? You need a format that forces real collaboration.
Christmas Party
Instead of a boring restaurant dinner: a programme your team will still remember in January. A hosted Christmas Quiz that involves everyone.
Stag / Hen Party
A great daytime programme and then the party at night — that's the plan. Our group events are perfect as a daytime activity.
Milestone Birthday
30, 40, 50 — a milestone birthday with 20 to 80 guests needs more than just a table and buffet. A hosted group event loosens up all generations.
