The story: 1676 in Oldenburg — a severe summer thunderstorm arrives and sparks several fires in the narrow streets due to huge lightning strikes. Since the city is built almost entirely of wood, the fire threatens to spread inexorably. It is now up to you, the city council, to mobilize the population and save the city's most important treasures and documents. A dramatic race against time begins — will you save Oldenburg from total destruction?

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, otherwise experience has shown that not all are well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest.

Puzzle through the story from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at Oldenburg's most beautiful sights and learn more about the city fire of 1676. It's part of the game to guess the individual stations. At the stations, you are looking for clues to solve the puzzles. The focus of this game is 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 of Oldenburg near the Oldenburg State Theatre.
