You sign up as a team of two and are randomly assigned a course: appetizer, main course, or dessert. You’ll cook this course in your own kitchen for two other teams. You’ll enjoy the other two courses yourselves as guests at two different teams’ homes.

So if you aren’t assigned the appetizer, your evening will start as guests at another team’s place before you host later on.

This way, you’ll get to meet up to twelve new people in just one evening. And afterward, everyone heads to the afterparty at the E-Werk!

Anyone can participate as long as they compete as a team of two, are of legal age, and have access to a kitchen within our service area.

It is important that both team members are at least 18 years old.

You’ll need a functional kitchen where you can cook for yourselves and your four guests. Your apartment must also be located within the specified catchment area.

For your course, you should have enough space for yourselves and your four guests, as well as plenty of seating. Of course, feel free to get a little creative – that’s exactly what makes the Laufgelage so charming!

Unfortunately, participation is only possible as a team of two.

But don’t worry: You can use our partner matching service to find a suitable teammate.

Unfortunately, no. The service area is necessary to ensure that the distances between courses remain as short as possible for all participants.

If your kitchen is outside the specified area, participation is unfortunately not possible.

You’ll specify this directly when you register. There, you’ll enter the address where you’d like to prepare your course.

This address will later be shared with your guests so they can find their way to you. Our algorithm will determine which course you’ll be cooking there – appetizer, main course, or dessert – during the assignment process.

You’ll find out which course you’re cooking after the registration period ends, along with your personal assignment. Assignments are typically made one to two days after the registration deadline.

No. After each course, all teams move on to the next station.

If you were the host, you’ll then head over to your next team and enjoy the next course there.

Yes, of course! The only requirements are that you’re allowed to use a kitchen there and that there’s enough space for your guests.

When registering, please make sure to provide your full and correct address, especially any dorm, building, or apartment codes, if these are needed to locate your kitchen.

Yes, of course! If two teams want to cook together in the same apartment or kitchen, you can easily indicate this when registering.

To do so, check the “Double Allocation” box and then enter a shared double-allocation code. Teams that have entered the same code will be paired together by our algorithm and will thus receive a double booking.

Yes, it is! Even if multiple teams from the same shared apartment or dorm want to participate, you can use duplicate entries and link the teams accordingly.

Please note, however, that our system has its limits. We’ll do our best to take your information and preferences into account when assigning teams, but – especially when there are multiple teams from the same apartment or dorm – we can’t guarantee that every desired combination will be possible. This may also lead to limitations in optimizing the route planning.

Participation costs €18.00 per team, or €9.00 per person.

You pay the participation fee directly when you register, either via PayPal, direct debit, or credit card. The payment will be charged to one person on your team for the entire team.

That’s the organization behind the Laufgelage. Unfortunately, we can’t change our account name on PayPal. If you’d like to learn more about us, click the link below.
