Hagen is often seen, quite unfairly, as nothing more than a motorway junction and the home of the FernUniversität (Germany’s distance-learning university). Look a little closer and you’ll find a city that strikes the perfect balance between rugged industrial heritage and idyllic countryside. That variety is what makes Hagen a real hidden gem if you want team-building events with a lasting effect. Whether you’re organising a strategic kick-off or planning this year’s Christmas party, Hagen has the right settings to give staff motivation a noticeable boost. If you’re looking for a place for productive conferences, exclusive venues such as the Arcadeon or the Kongress und Eventpark offer ideal conditions. For sporty or relaxed outdoor team activities, there are waterside destinations such as the Hengsteysee or the Harkortsee. And if you’d like to round off the evening in atmospheric industrial style, the LOFT is ready and waiting. In Hagen, city life meets relaxation, a mix that enriches any event.
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 €49In the “Tower of Power”, a team builds a tower using a special crane rig, and the other tasks only work out when everyone pulls together. Every group has its own trainer and plans its strategy before trying it out.
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 €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 €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 €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 €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 €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 €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 €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 €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 €49The feel of curling, minus the ice: on mobile plastic lanes the teams slide their stocks towards the target – in a company foyer, 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 €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 €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 €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.
In Hagen, it’s a very short journey between a lively city centre and quiet recreational areas. Having the city centre and nearby recreational areas so close together is a huge advantage for creative team activities: you can meet in a modern conference room in the morning and be standing on a lakeshore by the afternoon. The city offers fantastic options for summer parties in particular. Venues such as Salitos Beach and the extensive lakeside surroundings let your colleagues meet on a completely new, personal level, far from the desk. This pairs perfectly with our varied events: our fun Beach Games guarantee a summer atmosphere, while our rather soggy raft-building event strengthens creative thinking and cooperation. But even in winter or in bad weather, you can put on a company party people will remember. In the Roter Salon (Red Salon) of historic Schloss Hohenlimburg, for example, our ‘hardest quiz in the world’ pulls teams together and guarantees a highly entertaining accompanying programme for an evening as a team. And if you fancy putting your heads together, we have the perfect option ready: the Live Escape Game offers tricky puzzles and a Hollywood-worthy production. Business venues with modern facilities combined with our flexible indoor events mean your event in Hagen will be a success whatever the season.
Schloss Hohenlimburg commands a picturesque position above the Lenne valley and is the only hilltop castle in Westphalia preserved largely in its original state. Its historic rooms, such as the magnificent Roter Salon, offer an incomparable setting for exclusive evening events. Whether you’re holding a strategy conference or running an interactive activity, history and modern team building come together here for an experience like no other.
Water, beach and pure relaxation: the Hengsteysee is a paradise for outdoor fans. Close by, Salitos Beach beckons with a real sandy beach, cool drinks and a relaxed lounge atmosphere. These spots are made for clearing your head in the summer warmth. When teams put their heads together over projects here, or simply enjoy the sunset, they grow closer almost without realising it.
For those who think big, the Stadthalle Hagen – Kongress und Eventpark – and the Arcadeon conference hotel are the places to go. With its vast spaces that can be adapted to your needs and the neighbouring park, the Stadthalle has room for almost any size of event. The Mercure Hotel Hagen right next door is the perfect place to stay for restful nights in luxurious surroundings. The Arcadeon, in turn, impresses with state-of-the-art meeting rooms surrounded by greenery. Both venues offer the ideal facilities for combining intensive work with team challenges that lighten the mood.

“The teamio team visited us for an event with around 60 people. It was well organised and we had a lot of fun! Thank you.”
“Thank you for the brilliant team building!! Your team on site was fantastic. So was Claudia’s support beforehand!”
For nature lovers, we recommend an iPad Rallye around the Harkortsee or an action-packed 5-Kampf at Salitos Beach. If you’d like to get out on the water, our raft-building event on the Hengsteysee is an absolute highlight.
Hagen has some great indoor options. A Casino Night in the venerable Schloss Hohenlimburg, or a gripping Live Escape Game in the modern, rugged setting of the LOFT, will make your party one to remember, guaranteed.
Yes, absolutely. The Stadthalle Hagen – Kongress und Eventpark – specialises in large events, with plenty of space and sophisticated technical facilities to host even very large staff gatherings professionally.
We can adapt all our events to suit your group size, schedule and the particular features of your chosen venue in Hagen.
For almost all outdoor events, we have a bad-weather alternative. If your raft-building event cannot go ahead because of the weather, we’ll switch flexibly to exciting indoor activities. We can quickly run a Kickerbau event (building your own table football table) in the Stadthalle Hagen or the stylish LOFT instead.
Most of our events last between two and three hours on average. Whether you’re planning a short GPS-Rallye through the Stadtgarten or an extended Team-Parcours at the Arcadeon, we’ll adjust the duration to fit your schedule exactly.
Of course! Most of our events are completely mobile. If you’d like to build teamwork on your own premises, we’ll come to you with the necessary equipment for a Drone Race or a Kreativ-Werkstatt (creative workshop), straight to your office or factory floor.
That works extremely well in Hagen. The Arcadeon conference hotel and the Kongress und Eventpark offer ideal rooms for focused meetings. Afterwards, you can lighten the mood without leaving the venue with a Cajón workshop or the Domino Effekt.
