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

The story takes you back to 1686: Margrave Christian Ernst wants to revive the abandoned city 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. 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.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The city rally ends in the old town near Castle Square.
