The name 6 vor 12 describes us pretty well. We get everything done, but always at the last minute. The city rally through Hamburg was no different. Team day in spring, first hour strolling leisurely through the Speicherstadt. Tea shop, coffee bean sculpture, everything at our own pace. Then a glance at the clock and panic. The last four challenges done at a sprint, including a barefoot run through Planten un Blomen, where it turned out that Tom has extremely ticklish feet. 121 points at the end, and everyone with sore muscles. Our name has never been more fitting than on that day.

Guys, I'm telling you, this company outing! We'd booked the city rally through Hamburg, and nobody expected us to go this hard. At the Alster we were supposed to scoop up water and Stefan almost fell in, I swear, he was standing with one foot already in the water! Then the Silly Walk through the city center, where a passerby seriously asked if we were filming for a TV show. And on the Elbphilharmonie platform, that view over the entire harbor, we were all briefly speechless. Well, as speechless as our team gets. 116 points! Every company outing should be like this, truly.

Yes, we actually called ourselves Winner. Before the first challenge. Self-confidence was never our problem. City rally Hamburg, team building workshop before the annual planning. At Jungfernstieg we split up: one half searched for the sculpture in the subway, the other half organized Franzbrötchen. Priorities. Best moment was at the harbor, where we attempted a human pyramid in front of the Elbphilharmonie. Three attempts, two bruises. Now framed in our conference room. 112 points. Sometimes you just have to live up to your own expectations.

Conference program, city rally Hamburg. After the first challenge it was clear that a leisurely stroll was not an option. At the Michel we searched for bees that actually produce honey there. Katja claims she found the right plant. Proof pending. The Silly Walk through the city center was objectively ridiculous, but led to a school class spontaneously joining in. Hard to plan, something like that. On the Elbphilharmonie platform then silence. As silent as our team can get anyway. 111 points. The team photo is running as a wallpaper on at least four of our screens.

We were actually in Hamburg for a conference program, and the scavenger hunt sounded better than the hotel spa, although in hindsight we should have done both. Anyway, during the postcard challenge Jana wrote a card to her grandma, and I have to say, the kiosk owner was genuinely touched, even asked about the address to check if the stamp was enough. Then the message in a bottle at the harbor, where we handed our note to a couple who were so confused that we all burst out laughing. Oh and the video of the Space Invaders dance in the Gängeviertel, it's terrible and simultaneously the best thing we've ever filmed. 106 points, and since then we're only known as Funny Pigeons in the company chat, but that's another story.

Okay, I have to tell you what happened. Our team day, city rally Hamburg, and what can I say, it was AMAZING. At the town hall we searched for the mythical creature and stared at the wrong facade for ten minutes, but whatever! Then Deichstraße, where a creative challenge came up, and of all people Martin, our Excel king, delivered a performance we still talk about. Martin! Of all people! At the Old Elbe Tunnel we sprinted through with six of us, the echo screams probably still reverberate, and a tourist at the exit asked if everything was okay. 101 points, and Martin now gets to take on the creative task at every team meeting.

Christmas party, city rally Hamburg, drizzle. Sounds like a bad combination, but it worked. At Jungfernstieg the asphalt challenge: feet, tires and bicycle in one photo. Four attempts, because someone always blinked. In the Speicherstadt the question of how many cups of coffee are drunk daily worldwide. The number was surprising enough that we had to grab one ourselves first. Planten un Blomen then barefoot through wet grass, where Claudia's reaction lured a dog out of the bushes. 101 points. Conclusion: Christmas parties don't have to take place in a restaurant. But they can end at one.

So we had zero plan. Conference program in Hamburg, booked the scavenger hunt for the afternoon, nobody had read the description. Then we were standing there and suddenly timer on the phone and challenges everywhere. Team photo on a bridge first, okay, easy. But THEN the Franzbrötchen challenge and everything escalated. Anna fell so in love with the taste that she bought three more on the way back, in the middle of the game! On the Elbphilharmonie platform we were supposed to play a game and we got so loud that a security guard came over. Friendly, but firm. Lena's face in that moment, I can't, that's now our team profile picture. 97 points and nobody knows how.

Some places only reveal themselves when you slow down. The scavenger hunt through Hamburg as a team building workshop was actually the opposite of slow, and yet there were these moments. Olli in the Mellin Passage, studying the Art Nouveau ceiling paintings so intently we nearly forgot him. Then the Old Elbe Tunnel, 426 meters under the Elbe, where Patrick quietly wondered how old these walls must be. And on the other side, the view back at the skyline, that one moment where everyone went silent. No team building consultant in the world can plan that. 96 points at the end, but what counts is this image of us at the Elbe shore, six people who for a moment forgot they were on the clock.

The city rally through Hamburg was part of our onboarding, and we chose the name Snatch because we planned to grab every single point. At the harbor we found the figurehead on the Rickmer Rickmers and assigned her thoughts. Philipp's version was so dramatic that even the seagulls looked impressed. Then Swap-It: started with a flower and after three trades with strangers on the street we had chewing gum, a pen and a postcard from Mallorca. The logic was missing, but the fun was there. At the Elbe Tunnel we ran because time was short and the echo of our shouts stayed with us the whole way back. 95 points and five new people who now know exactly what they've gotten themselves into.
