The story: 1866 in Jena — there is a crisis atmosphere in Carl Zeiss's workshop. The laborious manual work is reaching its limits and the microscopes produced only provide blurred images. Zeiss is on the verge of ruin and knows that simply trying things out is no longer enough to survive against international competition. As his most capable assistants, you are the first to recognize that only exact science and mathematics can break this technical standstill. Your mission: to win over the brilliant physicist Ernst Abbe to your cause and revolutionize the optics industry forever.

Work as a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case. Are you more than 6 people? Then we recommend dividing yourself into several small groups — experience has shown that everyone is better integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest.

Puzzle your way through the story from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at Jena's most beautiful sights and learn more about Carl Zeiss. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations. At the stations, you search for clues to solve the puzzles. The focus is on the story and the puzzles.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The city rally ends in the old town of Jena near Carl-Zeiss-Platz.
