You will first be introduced to the history of the Huguenots: 1686 in Erlangen: Margrave Christian Ernst wants to revive the abandoned town of Erlangen. Through attractive privileges, he wants to bring the religious Huguenots from France to the city with their high-quality crafts and hard work. They accept the offer, but there is absolutely no room for them in Erlangen, so they are placed with the inhabitants on the instructions of the Margrave. But this creates enormous conflicts with the long-established people. As his margrave officials, it is up to you whether the margrave succeeds in his big coup!
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 Erlangen's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the Huguenots and their craft. 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 in the old town of Erlangen near Schlossplatz.
