Blind trust – team building evening in Cologne, March 2016

It was quite a surprise when, out of a sudden, the project team of the “Hotel Steigenberger Cologne” was picked up with a Karaoke-Taxi and taken to an undisclosed destination. It soon turned out that a “dinner in the dark” was about to take place in Germany’s first dark restaurant.

While the aperitif was served in dim candle light still, this was blown out once everyone was seated. The meal was served by a blind service crew, drinks had to be poured by the guests themselves. This not surprisingly caused some amusement. Within moments, the team had to develop trust in the neighbour and at the same time, not disturbed by visible influence, detected entirely new flavours in meals. And if someone had to leave the rooms he or she had to rely on a waitor to be taken and could not act on their own.

An exciting evening packed with new experiences!
