You will first be introduced to the story about the Brothers Grimm: 1819 in Kassel: The brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm lead a humble, ambitious life. As linguists and literary scholars, they are not only very well-read. They also write books and stories diligently, and have also started the so-called “German dictionary.” But success doesn't really want to happen. The book “Folk Tales of the Germans” proved to be a flop. 350 unsold copies were destroyed again by the publisher. Melancholy is slowly spreading. As good family friends, it is up to you to encourage them both and collect promising ideas!

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 Kassel's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the Grimm brothers in Kassel. 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 Kassel near the Neue Galerie.
