You will first be introduced to the story about Johann Friedrich Böttger in Dresden: 1709 in Dresden: The money-hungry Saxon king, August the Strong, has taken poor Johann Friedrich Böttger hostage. The young man had done a miracle: he had made a nugget of gold! Now August wants to force him to do more of it. But it won't work! However, there was already an unexpected success in the dangerous experiments: Böttger came across the recipe for porcelain! However, the glaze is still missing and August demands money or gold in large quantities! Only you, Böttger's laboratory assistants, can still help the poor young man, because he is still imprisoned and is being blackmailed by August...

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!

Puzzle your way through the story from station to station using our city map. Solve the puzzles at Dresden's most beautiful sights and important points and learn more about porcelain production in Dresden. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. As a result, they are not listed here. At the stations, clues must be sought to solve the puzzles. This game focuses on the story and puzzles, not on details of the historical history of the sights and the city.
