You will first be introduced to the history of salt production: 1693 in Halle an der Saale: The Elector wants to optimize the profits from the city's flourishing salt trade. Cheaper hard coal from the region is now intended to be used as fuel, but it makes the salt black and bitter. People prefer to buy the beautiful salt from Lüneburg. That could mean the end of the saltworks in Halle! Siedemeister Johann Bötticher sets out to revolutionize boiling technology. With your help, will he be able to develop an innovative alternative for salt production?

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 Halle's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about salt production in Halle. 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 duration is approximately 2 to 3 hours. The end is on the edge of Halle's old town near the Saline Museum.
