You will first be introduced to the history of Merchant Fugger in Augsburg: 1519 in Augsburg: Jakob Fugger has a problem. His family empire is in grave danger! He had lent too much money to Emperor Maximilian I. After the death of Maximilian, there is more than just a battle for the throne. Jakob Fugger must ensure that the right person becomes emperor so that he can get his loans back. Otherwise he will be ruined! Will you be able to help him crown the right emperor?

Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case. Are there more than 6 of you? Then we recommend splitting up into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not everyone is well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest! 

Use our city map to puzzle your way from station to station along the history trail. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights in Augsburg and at important points and find out more about the merchant Fugger in Augsburg. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city game. They are therefore not listed here. You have to look for clues at the stations to solve the puzzles. In this game, the focus is on the story and the puzzles, not on details about the historical history of the sights and the city.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The duration is around 2 to 3 hours. The end is in the old town centre of Augsburg near the Fuggerei.
