Where You Will Play: Team Building in Vienna’s First District
All 35 treasures sit inside the Ring, in the First District: St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg, the Albertina, Karlskirche, Mozarthaus, and the Haus der Musik, with quieter stops in the Burggarten and at the Schmetterlinghaus. Everything is on foot.
There is no fixed route. Each team sees the treasures on a live map, decides where to go next, and watches the other teams’ points climb in real time. A fast team takes the big squares; a curious one lingers in the Hofburg courtyards.
Meeting Point and Timing
We start at your hotel, office, or a nearby park and confirm the exact meeting point with you. Many groups finish at the restaurant booked for dinner, where we announce the winners. From a congress venue outside the First District, allow a short transfer to the playing area.
Plan 1.5 to 2.5 hours of play. The Christmas markets on Stephansplatz are no obstacle: treasures tucked behind the stalls stay in the game, and every team plays under the same conditions.
Who the Vienna Game Is For
Companies book it as team building for their own people, as a social activity at a conference, or as a client event in the heart of Vienna. With instructors and tablets we run groups of up to 300 people, about 52 teams of 4 to 6; on your own phones there is no limit.
The game runs in English or Czech; German game content is available on request. Rain does not stop it: ponchos, team umbrellas, and waterproof tablets come with the full service.

Thank you very much indeed for your help with our last minute booking. The event was fantastic, the app worked really well and the team loved it! You have a great experience and I will use again for sure. Any plans to expand to other cities eg London?

Vienna questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Treasure Hunt Vienna
Can the game start at our hotel or at a congress venue outside the First District?
Yes. Tell us your venue and your agenda, and we confirm a briefing point within walking distance of the game area and a finish that can be the restaurant booked for your dinner.
Which Vienna landmarks do the 35 treasures cover?
St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg, the Albertina, Karlskirche, Mozarthaus, the Haus der Musik, the Burggarten, and the Schmetterlinghaus. Teams pick which of them to visit.
Do teams follow a fixed route through the historic center?
No. Every team sees the treasures on the live map and chooses its own order, so a group of 200 does not queue at the same monument.
Are all 35 treasures reachable during the Vienna Christmas markets?
Not always. In Advent, squares such as Stephansplatz host stalls, stages, and rides, and a treasure under a market stall can be blocked for a few weeks. We leave such treasures open on purpose: every team plays under identical conditions, so a blocked treasure is blocked for all teams alike, and no team gains or loses. Plan for a slightly smaller set of reachable treasures in December.
How much time should we plan in the agenda?
Two to three hours in total: a 15-minute briefing, 1.5 to 2.5 hours of gameplay, a short transfer back to the meeting point, and 5 minutes for the results and winners.
How many people can play at once in Vienna?
Up to 300 people in up to 52 teams with our instructors and tablets. When players use their own phones, there is no capacity limit.
Can our group play in German?
The app runs in English and Czech, and our instructors deliver the event in English or Czech. German game content is possible on request; German-speaking instructors are not available.
What happens if it rains in Vienna?
We play in any weather. At a full-service event every participant gets a disposable rain poncho, each team gets an umbrella, and the tablets are IP68 rated, so a raindrop does not trigger a question on the screen. If the weather is so bad that playing outside makes no sense, we run an indoor Story Game for the group instead.
How far in advance do we need to book Treasure Hunt Vienna?
We are flexible. With a large stock of tablets and a wide team of instructors we can run an event booked at very short notice. At the peak of the season, when we sometimes run eight Treasure Hunts at the same time, a last-minute request may get the self-service version, which works without our team on site. We are never out of capacity: at the very least you always get a self-service game.
What do we get after the event?
After the game we send you a link to a password-protected results page on the game server, which stays online for 6 months. It shows the team ranking and points, which questions each team answered right or wrong, how many hints they used, the kilometers they walked, and the exact route of every team on the map. Photos taken by the teams on their devices during the game are uploaded there too, and everyone can download them.
