Start at Wörmanns Hof in the old town. Open the link from your confirmation email with your phone or tablet, log in, and start playing.

The story: 1891 in Bielefeld: You are the pharmacist assistants of Dr. August Oetker, who has just taken over the Aschoff pharmacy. His ambitious goal: to develop a reliable baking powder after the previous remedies had caused his wife to despair while baking. Will you be able to make the pharmacy a success and also invent the perfect baking agent that makes breads and cakes rise by themselves?

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 are well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!

Puzzle yourself along the story from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at Bielefeld's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about Dr. Oetker. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. At the stations, clues must be sought to solve the puzzles. This game focuses on the story and puzzles.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The city rally ends on the edge of the old town of Münster near Sparrenburg.
