About this Tour

Real haunted houses, former hangmen's places and old crypts make the city center of Vienna a perfect place for a ghost hunt of a completely different kind. Because: Only a few people today know about the gruesome events that took place there in Vienna from the Middle Ages to the present day. Not even among the real Viennese are there many who know about the city's scary places, haunted houses and hidden torture cellars.

Anyone who dares to go on a vampire and ghost hunt is guaranteed goosebumps here. In this scary experience, teams can uncover riddles and secrets of real, historically documented horror sites in ancient and morbid Vienna.

Steps of the tour

What can you expect at the riddle rally in Vienna?

  • As a team, you go on a puzzle hunt. For each booking, you form your own team and are not thrown together with strangers.
  • During the rally, you will be personally supervised by a rally leader
  • In the end, you crack the hidden code and can open the mysterious treasure chest.

Procedure: The meeting point is the back of St. Stephen's Cathedral at the “Zahnwehherrgott” (opposite Stephansplatz 4-5), game explanation, group photo, start of the game, duration approx. 2 hours, meeting point at the end again behind St. Stephen's Cathedral with opening the treasure chest, immediate evaluation & award ceremony.

 

If you book a public appointment, you can play for 2 or more people and pay per person. If you request a private appointment, you can freely choose the appointment. This costs at least 350 euros and includes 10 people. From the 11th person, each additional person costs 32 euros.

We had a puzzle rally in the museum and it was great fun. It allows you to explore the entire building and also learn a lot. As leader of the rally, Viki was very clever and informative.
