Why every HR team in Germany knows "§ 19 Abs. 1 Nr. 1a EStG"
German tax law gives employers a generous tax-free allowance for company events (Betriebsveranstaltungen): up to €110 gross per employee per event, for two events per year. Below that threshold, the event is tax-deductible as a business expense and the employee owes no wage tax on the benefit.
A typical setup: Bubble Soccer for the team (€35 p.p.) + pizza and drinks after (€35 p.p.) + transport contribution (€15 p.p.) = €85 p.p. – well under €110. Tax-free, straightforward, no surprises on the year-end payroll.
For the detailed rules in German (including the typical pitfalls), see our in-depth article on the €110 tax-free limit. International HR teams: just tell us the target budget per person and we'll quote a compliant package.

What international HR teams usually ask
Can you run the whole event in English?
Yes – briefing, in-game moderation, prize ceremony, and post-event debriefing all in English. Our event hosts handle international teams daily in Frankfurt (banking), Berlin (tech startups), Munich (automotive, tech) and Stuttgart (automotive, machinery). Mark "English-speaking" on the request form.
Is this tax-deductible for German companies?
Yes. Under § 19 Abs. 1 Nr. 1a EStG, German employers can spend up to €110 gross per employee per company event, tax-free, for up to two events per year. Our team events (Bubble Soccer, Arrow Tag, XXL Soccer Darts) typically cost €30–70 per person; combined with catering this stays well under the €110 limit. We can quote a package that hits the threshold exactly.
How large can the group be?
From 6 people (small team offsite) to 120 people (full-company summer party). For groups under 20, we run a single rotating session. For groups 30+, we run tournament format with group stage, semifinals, finals. We can also run parallel stations (Bubble Soccer + Arrow Tag + XXL Soccer Darts in parallel) for groups up to 80 people simultaneously.
What does a typical corporate package include?
Equipment, setup and teardown, 1–2 event hosts on site depending on group size, a briefing deck in English if needed, and a results overview for internal communication. Optional: catering coordination, venue booking (if you don't have a location), branded trophies, and photo/video documentation.
Can this work for a hybrid team offsite?
Yes – we've run events that combine in-person team-building with a remote-team video cheer squad. The in-person team plays Bubble Soccer, the remote team watches via livestream and votes on MVPs. Works best for global teams with a strong core in Germany plus remote contributors in other time zones.
Where does this work best in Germany?
Frankfurt for expat-heavy finance teams, Munich for corporate HQs in automotive, insurance and tech, Berlin for international startups and scale-ups, Stuttgart for automotive and machinery, Hamburg for logistics and media, Cologne for automotive, retail and aviation. We also cover many other German cities.
