You will first be introduced to the story about the mystery: 1800 in Cologne: An accident has happened! It was so wonderful! As people slumbered blissfully at night, strange things happened: clothes were being sewn, beer brewed, breads were baked, horseshoes were forged. No one has ever seen who did these mysterious acts. These were taken for granted with pleasure. But the magical haunting was over for a few days now! The city is in danger of sinking into chaos! Will you be able to solve the mystery?
Work in a team (2-6 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 Cologne's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the mystery in Cologne. 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 Cologne, near Roncalliplatz.
