Discover the varied event scene of this Ruhr city
“Deep in the west, where the sun gathers dust, it is better, much better, than you think.” If a city has been given a song of its own, how could it be anything but great? But for anyone still not convinced that Bochum has plenty to offer as an event destination, here’s a quick tour.
As is typical of cities in the Ruhr, Bochum never forgets its industrial tradition and the mining history that has shaped the region. Yet wherever you look, today’s cultural diversity is just as easy to spot. Coal-mining past meets lively city life. With impressive venues such as the Rotunde, the Jahrhunderthalle and the RuhrCongress, Bochum offers plenty of opportunities for team events and team building with lasting impact. The city is full of options for outdoor adventures too: the Kemnader See, the sprawling Westpark, or the city centre with its heart, the Bermuda-Dreieck (Bermuda Triangle).
Head down into the fascinating world of the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum (German Mining Museum) and discover the Ruhr’s history first-hand. Our interactive team challenges, as an accompanying programme activity, make your event in this one-of-a-kind venue an experience to remember. Or how about a sporty company outing to the much-loved Ruhrstadion, home of VfL Bochum? Here you can get up close to football history – and take part in exciting team contests.
If you’re after the perfect mix of nature and the urban character of the Ruhr, Bochum and its many event options are just the ticket.
from €59Pick five challenges from a pool, such as the Mario Kart balloon hunt, Cube Challenge or pipeline building. Everyone chases points in changing teams, with medals, Crémant or a cup on request.
from €39Longbows with no sights and no technical gadgetry, four ways to compete and a balloon-shooting finale: after a briefing and some warm-up shots, even beginners hit the bullseye. Every team gets its own protective gear.
from €49Las Vegas without the risk: at authentic tables you bet, bluff and sweat it out with play money, playing roulette, poker, craps and blackjack.
from €49Steer DJI drones through an obstacle course (touching an obstacle adds a time penalty), guide Sphero balls using an iPad and build a drone even though only half the team can see the instructions.
from €49iPad, walkie-talkie and a virtual city map: teams hunt for points, complete tasks and answer questions about your company. Fifteen minutes before the end, the live scores disappear – and that’s when it gets really tense.
from €49Soccer-Toss, Quiz-Ball and more: you choose the football activities from over a dozen challenges, and we build them into a tournament that runs from the preliminary rounds to the final – with a golden cup on request.
from €59Five winter challenges, from stacking giant presents to building a sleigh in Santa’s workshop: teams collect points towards the overall score, and everyone celebrates together at the awards ceremony, indoors or outdoors.
from €59Wheelbarrow course, hay bale run, milking contest and horseshoe throwing: teams collect points in proper farmyard challenges. The team with the most points takes the golden pitchfork home.
from €49Sandcastle building, a water relay and coconut boules: in small groups you go barefoot from station to station, to a soundtrack of summer hits. We bring the sun cream – safety first!
from €69Build your own cajóns from high-quality kits, then play rhythms in several parts as a team, guided by drum coaches. You can take your box drum home.
from €59Golf without a golf course: clubs in hand, you head over hill and dale, with team tasks such as the golf ball pipeline and ladder golf waiting along the way. In the end, the best team handicap wins.
from €39All the atmosphere of the pub, darts included: teams play 301 through a preliminary round and a knockout stage for the title of company darts champion, while a cheeky hosting team comments on every throw.
from €55Fly drones, send robotic balls racing each other or steer racing cars using an iPad: in this tournament, teams compete using VR, robotics and AI. You choose the stations.
from €35Every team builds its own section of a giant chain reaction out of dominoes, LEGO and Kapla planks. After the countdown, down it all goes – in the meeting room, the conference hotel or the office.
from €79Design a flag, christen your boat, start paddling: the teams race each other in dragon boats while a drummer sets the beat. The winning team gets Crémant, and the flags go on to decorate the canteen.
from €49Everyone gets a real djembe, and our drum coaches lead you step by step from a body percussion warm-up to the big final arrangement. Nobody needs any musical experience.
from €49The feel of curling, minus the ice: on mobile plastic lanes the teams slide their stocks towards the target – in a company building, a hotel or outdoors. Strategy, precision and plenty of cheering.
from €49Sherwood Forest by torchlight: after a short briefing from our trainers, even beginners pick up a longbow and take on the other teams.
from €99Time to clock off and join the video call: with the hosts broadcasting live from a real bar, everyone mixes two cocktails using the contents of the treat box, tries four craft beers and ticks off bingo numbers in between, until a cry of “BINGOOO” echoes through the call.
from €139We set up the stalls right on your company grounds: candied almonds, mulled wine and a winter BBQ, plus an Eisstock curling lane and archery by torchlight if you like.
from €69From wooden planks, hemp ropes, securing straps and barrels, the teams build their own raft, hoist the pirate flag and put on a show to christen it, then take to the water for the regatta.
from €59Geocaching with an expedition rucksack: teams head out into your city in search of the secret of Christmas, solve puzzles and track down hiding places. Homemade Glühwein (hot mulled wine) keeps the cold at bay.
from €55Backpack, walkie-talkie and GPS device: teams hunt for hidden caches, solve puzzles based on their surroundings and tackle challenges together along the way, whether through the undergrowth or the urban jungle.
from €49Soft balls down long corridors, minigolf balls through the spa area, glowing balls in a darkened meeting room: six golf stations turn your office or hotel into a golf course. Do mind the coffee mug!
from €59Teams line up along six rods inside inflatable human table football arenas and play a tournament, with commentators, football hits and Mexican waves for company. The winners walk away with the golden cup.
from €49Frozen lake, snowball pipeline, guess the spice and Santa charades: all teams start at their stations at the same time and chase points. Santa hats are included.
from €49Build company cars, pull off an emergency operation in the Emergency Room or raise a tower: you put your course together from over 20 tasks. And the only way to get it done is together.
from €84The wooden kit lands in your home office, a live host talks you through building the insect hotels over a video call, and a beekeeper tells you about local flora and fauna. The package also includes seeds for a bee-friendly meadow.
from €49Your own table football championship: every team founds a club, name and all, then battles through the group stage and knockout rounds while commentators guide you through the tournament like a Saturday-night football show.
from €79Your very own table football table is built from a kit, then christened in a tournament. The fastest team to finish building gets to play at home in the opening match, and the tables can be donated afterwards.
from €49Each artists’ collective paints its own canvas around your theme. Then the canvases come together as one large artwork for your company – with a bird’s-eye drone photo, if conditions allow.
from €59The creative box with two canvases, acrylic paints in twelve colours and brushes arrives at home in advance, then everyone paints live on a video call, guided by a professional artist. An online exhibition of your artwork rounds it all off.
from €49Write the script, pick costumes and false beards, shoot, edit: every film crew makes its own short film with an iPad and a collection of props. At the end, all the films are screened at your very own film festival, nominations included.
from €35As a new Europol task force, the teams hunt a master thief: armed with an agent’s case, a puzzle box and a postcard under UV light, they solve puzzles against the clock – and must tread carefully, because their adversary is hot on their heels.
from €59A large CRT television with an N64, a Carrera track and remote-controlled Mario Karts: across three challenges, teams go head to head in races that mix retro nostalgia with full-throttle action. The winning team gets to pop the corks.
from €79The rhythm package brings a cajón kit to each home office, and everyone builds it live on the video call with step-by-step guidance. Then it’s time to drum along to classic songs on the livestream.
A guaranteed highlight for sports fans is the “Stadion anne Castroper” (Ruhr dialect for the stadium on Castroper Straße). For over 100 years, the legendary Vonovia Ruhrstadion has hosted VfL Bochum’s home games. Here you and your team can soak up the impressive football atmosphere and also take part in interactive team events in the stadium’s many areas. We’re happy to help, of course. For outdoor fans and city explorers, an exciting iPad Rallye through the Westpark and the nearby city centre is a good fit. Teamwork, sturdy shoes and a sense of direction are called for. Alternatively, our action-packed 5-Kampf in the impressive spaces of the Jahrhunderthalle brings out your competitive streak and creates team moments to remember. In the summer months, a trip to the Kemnader See is almost compulsory. Our raft-building event is the ideal activity for sunny days. Building your floating contraption is all the more comfortable on the warm sand of the “Stranddeck” beach club. And at blue:beach, you get a proper holiday atmosphere even without the water. Bochum has plenty to offer for indoor events too. The RuhrCongress and the Rotunde are ideal venues for exclusive corporate events and interactive team building. Creative workshops, quiz shows or innovative team events such as our digital 3-Kampf can be run here in an inspiring setting.
The Ruhrstadion is one of Germany’s most storied football grounds. Use its distinctive spaces for team events to remember, company parties or sporting challenges. Whether it’s the 5-Kampf, a fun football quiz or our exciting “Fußballfieber” (football fever) event, you’ll experience the motto “You must be 11 friends” first-hand. Plenty of spaces are available: up in a hospitality box or down in the stadium’s inner arena, an atmosphere fit for world champions is guaranteed!
The Jahrhunderthalle is an impressive backdrop for indoor and outdoor team events. From sporting challenges and creative workshops to an exciting Live Escape Game, we put together a programme that fits perfectly alongside your event. The historic hall and the neighbouring Westpark are the ideal combination for varied programmes that get people moving, inspire them and build a lasting sense of togetherness in your team.
The Kemnader See is ideal for outdoor team events with a water-sports flavour. Dragon boat racing, a raft-building event or our action-packed Beach Games – it all feels like summer! A shared BBQ at the popular Stranddeck is always a good idea too: teams (and taste buds) are in for a treat. The natural surroundings are restful and give you the chance to share experiences that stay with you long afterwards.
From the mining museum to the Kemnader See, Bochum has plenty of potential. Sporty challenges, an exciting team rally or high-speed fun on the water: we’ll design your next team event just the way you want it.
“The planning went smoothly, and the promised service was delivered reliably and on time. I will definitely recommend Teamio Event GmbH!”
“We had a lovely day with the teamio team and, combined with the rest of our programme, our event was a success. The discussions with the teamio team were great from the outset too. The total price is quite high, but it was worth it.”
Bochum has a wide range of team-building options. Particularly popular are our GPS-Rallye through the busy city centre and the Bermuda-Dreieck, team contests such as the 5-Kampf, and water-based activities at the Kemnader See, like our raft-building team event.
All our events can be adapted to your individual needs, circumstances and goals. Just tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll work with you to create a unique team experience.
Our team events usually last between 1.5 and 2 hours, but can be adapted. Whether you’re after a short team-building session or a full-day event, we have options to suit you.
The vast majority of our activities that get people talking can easily take place at your premises. We bring all the equipment and adapt the activities to the conditions on site. Of course, we can also run our events at another venue of your choice in Bochum.
The Jahrhunderthalle, the RuhrCongress and the Rotunde offer ideal indoor options for team events of every kind. Whether it’s a Live Escape Game, a quiz show or a Mario Kart challenge – anything is doable here.
From our “toughest quiz show in the world” to Eisstock curling (the Alpine cousin of curling) and archery by torchlight, right through to festive cooking events, we have plenty of creative activity ideas for your next Christmas party in Bochum.
Yes – if the weather won’t cooperate, plenty of indoor alternatives are ready, so your team event won’t be a washout. We keep the planning and running of the event flexible.
