Christmas Party Leipzig
Christmas party Leipzig, an escape room instead of the standard event
Should the Christmas party in Leipzig be different this year? Instead of mulled wine and small talk, you’ll take on an exciting escape room adventure as a team, and afterwards you’ll head to the traditional Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz together, one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany. At Escape Leipzig you’re right at Burgstraße 2 by the Thomaskirchhof, in the middle of the centre, 2-3 minutes on foot from the Christmas market.
You’re in the right place if: you’re planning for December. Seasonal atmosphere, right around the corner from the Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz (3 minutes on foot from Burgstraße), and you can stop there for a mulled wine afterwards. Please note: popular December dates are often fully booked by September, so ask early.

Three formats for your company Christmas party
1. Classic Christmas party, escape room for small teams
The standard format for departments, project teams or management rounds of up to 8 people. One room, 60 minutes of playing time, then a group success photo and a debrief. Perfect as an activity block before the Christmas dinner.
Good for: small teams, project groups, board rounds
Price: 106 € (2 people) to 264 € (8 people) in total
2. Combo Mode, Christmas party for whole departments of 8-38 people
When the whole department comes along: 2 to 6 rooms in parallel at the same start time. All sub-teams start together, each team plays its own adventure, and at the end you compare playing times and stories. A flat 33 € per person. With our six-room Combo, teams of up to 38 people can play in a single run.
Good for: departmental Christmas parties, company events
Price: 33 € per person, all rooms at the same start time
3. Christmas market day, escape room + mulled wine + restaurant
The classic for Leipzig companies: escape room in the late afternoon (starting at 4 pm or 5 pm) as the activity highlight, then off to the Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz together, one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany (first documented in 1458). Optionally a restaurant afterwards for the main meal, for example the traditional Auerbachs Keller with its Goethe and Faust connection.
Good for: a complete company Christmas party with activities + city atmosphere
Price: from 33 € per person for the escape room block · we’ll coordinate restaurant recommendations on request
Why an escape room as your Christmas party?
✓ Something different: Enough of bowling and skittles, an escape room brings real suspense
✓ Suitable for everyone: From the apprentice to the management, everyone joins in here
✓ Weatherproof: An indoor event, perfect for the cold season
✓ 5 classic rooms + 10 VR escape rooms: Space for up to 38 people at the same time, the biggest centre in the region
✓ Central location: At the Thomaskirchhof, afterwards 2 min to the Christmas market on the Marktplatz
✓ Booking early pays off: The Christmas season is our most popular time of year!
What your company gets out of it
The classic company Christmas party (restaurant + small talk + punch stall) has been interchangeable for years. What’s left after three hours of mulled wine? With an escape room Christmas party it’s different:
- Real stories to tell: “Remember when the head of HR spotted the secret writing first?” Those memories live on in the break room into the new year.
- The team mix becomes visible: People who never speak otherwise, because they’re from different departments, build collegial connections while solving puzzles together.
- Across generations: The 22-year-old working student and the 58-year-old head of department have the same chances, no physical requirements needed.
- An activity block before the meal: If you do the escape room as the warm-up, you’ll bring relaxed, good-humoured team members into the restaurant, and the small talk then runs by itself.
- Low risk: Unlike ice skating, a sledge rally or a walk in the snow, there are no injury or weather risks.
How it works, from the date to the Christmas market
1. Ask early. Our recommendation: 4-6 months before your preferred season. Up to 8 people or without special requests, book directly online through the list of available times. With special requests (a Christmas market follow-up, restaurant coordination) write to us at info@escapeleipzig.de or call 0341 21 82 9494, and we’ll be happy to answer.
2. Choose your format and rooms. Five classic rooms to choose from, the Detective Room with Dr. Seltsam, the Leipziger Dungeon (which fits the Christmas atmosphere nicely), Operation Pussycat, Harry's School of Magic and the Bitcoin Verschwörung (a pro room, every player books individually, from age 14). Plus ten VR escape rooms for tech-minded team members.
3. On the day. Be on time at Burgstraße 2 by the Thomaskirchhof. Cloakroom, a festive welcome, a briefing for your room (15 min), then 60 minutes of playing time.
4. After the game. A success photo, a short debrief.
5. Off to the Christmas market or the restaurant. From the Thomaskirchhof you’ll reach the Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz in 2-3 minutes on foot, one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany. With our Escape & Eat offer you’ll get a free soft drink with every main course at our partner restaurants.

Frequently asked questions about the Christmas party
When should we book the Christmas party?
Our recommendation: 4-6 months ahead, our main booking season starts in August. Popular December dates (above all Fridays and Saturdays in the second week of Advent) are often fully booked by September. For 2026: ask from June onwards, then there’s still a wide choice of dates. Last-minute bookings from November are possible but very limited, especially for large groups with a five- or six-room Combo.
Can we combine this with the Leipzig Christmas market?
Yes, that’s the most popular option. Burgstraße 2 by the Thomaskirchhof is only 2-3 minutes on foot from the Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz. A typical run: escape room in the afternoon, then off to the Christmas market together for mulled wine and Stollen, optionally a restaurant afterwards for the main meal. With our Escape & Eat offer you’ll get a free soft drink with every main course at our partner restaurants.
How many people can take part in the Christmas party?
In a single room 2 to 8 people, depending on the room. With the Combo Mode 8 to 38 people in parallel. As the biggest escape room centre in the region we can handle groups that hardly any other provider can. More than 38: several runs one after the other.
What does a Christmas party cost for the company?
In Combo Mode 33 € per person. Smaller teams in a single room: 106 € (2 people) to 264 € (8 people) in total. We can invoice your company address.
Can we organise mulled wine or punch with you?
We don’t have a licence to serve mulled wine or punch ourselves. But the Leipzig Christmas market on the Marktplatz is 2-3 minutes on foot away, and many companies use the escape room as an activity block in the late afternoon and then head to the Christmas market together.
Up to when can we cancel free of charge?
Free of charge up to 48 hours before your slot. After that 75 € per reserved room. For large-group bookings of 8 people or more we recommend agreeing the cancellation terms with us before booking. With a longer lead time, more flexible arrangements are possible in individual cases.
What’s the best way for us to book as a company?
Up to 8 people or without special requests, book directly online through the list of available times. With special requests (a Christmas market follow-up, restaurant coordination, individual cancellation terms) write to us at info@escapeleipzig.de or call 0341 21 82 9494. We’ll be happy to answer, block several rooms in parallel and send you a written confirmation with your billing address.
