About this experience
As a group, you take on a mission together: The secret recipe of Cologne's cult brewery “Et läuft” has been sabotaged. Brewery owner Hennes Hoppe puts all his eggs in one basket — and on you. Station by station, you will puzzle your way as a team from Heumarkt through Rheinauhafen to Südstadt in Cologne. Real Veedel, no tourist trails — places that most people of Cologne have never seen this way themselves. At each station, there is a new puzzle that challenges the whole group: Save clues, recognize connections, find the solution together. Along the way, there are exciting fun facts about the city, its history and its peculiarities — and tips for breaks in the best corners of the Veedel.
At the start of the tour, you choose whether to play the men's or women's JGA version — and get challenges that really suit your group. After each puzzle station solved, there is a new challenge: estimation questions about the bridal couple, photo challenges, quiz rounds, games where you suddenly get to know the others in a completely new way — even after years. Every challenge is different, each has its own moment. Fun, creative, personal — and never at anyone's expense.
That's the difference: The whole group has fun. Not just the brave, not just the loud ones — everyone. Because the challenges are designed in such a way that everyone gets their moment without getting into trouble.
We've been developing our tours for over six years and know what works and what doesn't. Each challenge is the result of real testing with real groups — until the moment is right.
Depending on your pace and how much you max out the challenges, you'll be on the road for 2 to 4 hours. The tour ends at Chlodwigplatz — in the middle of Südstadt, surrounded by bars and restaurants for the rest of the evening. Completely organized, nothing to prepare, just get started.
