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, a 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 (2-6 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.
