You will first be introduced to the History of Witch Hunts in Bamberg: 1630 in Bamberg: The City has been in the Grip of Famine for 4 years. But every 13th inhabitant of the town dies in a different way: in the flames! The Prince-Bishop Is Merciless and Has the Accused Witches and Sorcerers Tortured and Burned. Barbara Schwarz, an Innkeeper from Bamberg, has escaped the Darkness of the Dungeon and begs Emperor Ferdinand for Mercy. Can he grant her request and acquit her? What do the court documents say? You are tasked with investigating Barbara Schwarz's case and finding out whether she made a pact with the devil. Will you manage to prove her 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 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 story. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights of Bamberg and at important points and find out more about the witch hunts in Bamberg. 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 about 2 to 3 hours. The end is in the old town of Bamberg near Schönleinplatz.
