You will first be introduced to the story about Oscar von Miller in Heilbronn: 1891 in Heilbronn: Oskar von Miller has just succeeded in transmitting electricity over a distance of 176 kilometers from Lauffen am Neckar to Frankfurt — an unprecedented masterpiece! A groundbreaking project is now imminent: Heilbronn is to be the first city in the world to be supplied with electricity externally. You are faced with the challenge of convincing local entrepreneurs and the city administration of this revolutionary energy source. Will you be able to usher in a new era in Heilbronn despite the prevailing skepticism and the preference for traditional steam, gas and hydropower?

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 Heilbronn's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the new energy in Heilbronn. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. Therefore, 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.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The duration is approximately 2 to 3 hours. The end is in the old town of Heilbronn near the Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke.

We did the scavenger hunt in Heilbronn. One point of criticism lies in the preparation of the scavenger hunt. It was stated that a mobile phone was enough. When logging in, it was pointed out that the city map should be uploaded to a separate mobile phone. Since we didn't have a second cell phone with us, we tried to open the map in a separate window. Unfortunately, when changing the window, the game was interrupted several times. Otherwise, the tour was very nice.
