You will first be introduced to the story about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Salzburg: 1781 in Salzburg: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, known as a child prodigy, leads a dissatisfied life as a court organist. The prince-archbishop forces him to live a strictly regulated life and deprives him of the opportunity to perform his own concerts. After several trips abroad, Mozart's desire to find employment abroad increases. Unfortunately, no one wants to use the child prodigy. Now he has trusted you, his closest friends: He wants to get rid of the princely shackles! But that also entails some risks...

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 the most beautiful sights in Salzburg and at important points and learn more about musician Mozart in Salzburg. 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 Salzburg near the Old Market.

Great, it was a cool experience! Only for one task on Kaptielplatz was the letter in the task “W” but it was station “B” on the city map. However, we were able to solve the problem with the help of the first clue:)

Nice to see unknown alleys and learn something about Mozart. The family wanted to stop off at a café in between, so we only made it halfway through the tour. After that, we had to travel home. Thank you! Nice and flexible idea.
