An onboarding process takes place when a new employee joins a company. It is during onboarding that the new employee is introduced to the company culture, the work tasks and the many new colleagues. The purpose of onboarding is to help the new employee feel welcome, understand their role and quickly become a productive part of the team. But how do you do that successfully? At Mystery Makers, we may have the answer.
Experiences start conversations
Cultural experiences, or any other experience, create a common reference point. This can make it easier to start a conversation at the coffee machine or printer - especially for a new employee. Onboarding is all about making the new colleague feel part of the team from day one. And what better way than an activity that emphasises collaboration, communication and laughter? At Mystery Makers, we create unique experiences that make welcoming a new colleague easy and fun.
Onboarding that builds community
Our Mystery Hunt blends culture, creativity and team spirit
If you want to combine onboarding with some fresh air and history, our Mystery Hunt an obvious choice. You'll have the opportunity to explore some of Denmark's most iconic locations as you work together to solve puzzles inspired by their unique history. It's an engaging and interactive experience that not only brings the team together, but also creates strong memories and common reference points for the next chat over the coffee machine or in the queue for the printer. We believe that the most obvious locations for a successful onboarding are at Kronborg Castle and Christiansborg Palace.
Dive into Hamlet's universe and strengthen collaboration at Kronborg Castle
Come to Kronborg and explore the castle's mystery as a team. Get to know each other better while discovering the secrets of Hamlet's world. The activity strengthens your common understanding and creates bonds that make it easier to work together - both at the castle and later in the workplace.

Make onboarding an unforgettable experience
Five tips for the best onboarding
1. Prepare everything in advance
Make sure everything practical is in place before the employee's first day. This includes work tools such as a computer, passwords and workspace, as well as a plan for their induction. A well-organised start shows that you're ready to receive them and makes it easier for them to feel welcome.
2. Create a structured onboarding plan
3. Introduce the company culture
Onboarding isn't just about tasks and systems, it's also about giving the employee a sense of belonging. Share the company's values, mission and Visionand spend time explaining how the employee can contribute to the culture and the success of the team.
4. Assign a contact person
A contact person can be an experienced colleague who acts as a sounding board during the onboarding process. This creates a safe relationship where the new employee can ask questions and get help navigating both work tasks and social aspects.
5. Gather ongoing feedback
