About this Tour

Explore Karlsruhe directly with your smartphone while playing the city rally “Illuminati - Bann des Grails”. Solve puzzles at famous landmarks, be carried away into the story of the Illuminati and win the game. After booking, you will receive all necessary information via email.

  • You can start whenever you want, even if you've booked a different time or day.
  • Each group plays with 1 device. For groups of more than 6 people (maximum 50 people), you can buy 2 or more tickets.

Visit the starting point, Ludwigsbrunnen (in the old town), open the link from your confirmation email with your smartphone or tablet, log in and start the game.

The story takes you back to 1825 in Karlsruhe: The new stone pyramid on the market square causes unrest. Have the Illuminati once again set themselves a memorial here? But the order was banned a few years ago! And is it true that the Holy Grail is hidden beneath the pyramid? Embark on a search for the truth and discover the secrets of the Grail Search and the Order of the Illuminati!

Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case. If you have more than 6 people, we recommend splitting up into several small groups. Test which group is the fastest!

Follow our map from station to station. Solve puzzles at Karlsruhe's most beautiful sights and learn more about the Illuminati. Guessing the stations is part of the game, so we won't list them here. At the stations, you will find tips on how to solve the puzzles. The focus is on the story and the puzzles.

Move at your own pace and take breaks as you please. The city rally ends in the old town of Karlsruhe near Kronenplatz.

Overall, we really enjoyed the tour. However, we were unable to solve one question.

The tour route and story were timely, varied and entertaining. Sometimes the tasks were a bit tricky. But that may also have been due to us or our low number of participants (1 E + 1 K). It's a pity that individual stations or tasks due to construction sites or the lack of existence in the meantime could only be solved with the help of digital photos provided. Nevertheless, the rally is recommended.
