You will first be introduced to the story about the witch hunt in Bamberg: 1630 in Bamberg: The famine in the city has been spreading for 4 years. But every 13th resident of the city dies in a different way: In the flames! The prince-bishop shows himself mercilessly and has the accused witches and sorcerers tortured and burned. Barbara Schwarz, goose owner from Bamberg, has escaped the darkness of prison and asks Emperor Ferdinand for mercy. Can he comply with her request and acquit her? What do the court documents say? You will be asked to investigate Barbara Schwarz's lawsuit and find out whether she had made a deal with the devil. Will you be able to prove their innocence? Or will she also find her way into the flames?
Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case Are you more than 6 people? Then we recommend that you divide yourself into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not all of them are well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!
