About this Tour

Explore Rothenburg ob der Tauber playing the city rally “Der Meistertrunk - Alles oder nichts” directly with your smartphone. Solve puzzles at famous landmarks, be carried away into the story of Master Trunk and the Thirty Years' War and win the game. After booking, you will receive all necessary information via email.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • Tickets: You only need 1 ticket per group (1-6 people) and you can host the event at your desired time. You are not bound to the time that is given to you when booking.
  • You can start whenever you want, even if you've booked a different time or day.
  • Each group will play with 1 device. For groups of more than 6 people (maximum 50 people), you can buy 2 or more tickets.
  • This is a private tour just for you! The label “public appointment” means that, of course, other groups could also play for themselves at the same time. But you're not playing with strangers.

OTHER INFORMATION:

  • Level of difficulty: easy to medium
  • Also suitable for families with children
  • Duration: 2 to 3 hours
  • language: German
  • You can book in advance or even spontaneously.
  • We were there personally in Rothenburg, carefully planned the route and lovingly put together the story of the Meistertrunk. The city rally was created without the use of AI.

Start at the hospital bastion in the old town. Open the link from your confirmation email on your phone or tablet, log in, and start playing.

The story is set in 1631 during the Thirty Years' War. As Rothenburg City Council, you must make tough decisions to protect the city.

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 yourself along the story from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights in Rothenburg and at important points and learn more about the Meistertrunk. 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.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The game lasts around 2 to 3 hours and ends in the old town, near the medieval crime museum.

Steps of the tour

You don't need to create a request if your exact start time isn't available in the booking tool. The rally can be started at any time and you don't need to talk to us about it. Even if there is bad weather on game day or something else gets in the way, you can play the game at any time within a year of purchase. Here, too, you don't need to send us a request, the booked ticket is automatically activated.

Visit the starting point, the hospital bastion (in the old town), open the link from your confirmation email with your smartphone or tablet, log in with your data and start playing right away. As part of the story about the Master's Drink, you solve puzzles at famous sights. As soon as you have solved the last puzzle, the game is won.

Overall, it was a very nice day in Rothenburg. We have discovered a lot of beautiful corners that we haven't noticed before. Unfortunately, we did not write down the stops where we would have liked to have a few more tips on how to get ahead, as it was sometimes very difficult to get ahead. However, the help was very helpful - we remember the unit of measurement foot - here the number after the decimal point could not be solved. With the relief at the museum, the solution was difficult for us to understand, even because of the solution specification. But we will certainly take advantage of such an offer again in another city. Thank you so much for the good idea!!! Silke, Elke and Rita
