You will first be introduced to the story of the guilds in Ulm: 1397 in Ulm: For more than 50 years, the fate of the city has been directed by the city council. The rich nobles cling to their power, but the citizens owe Ulm's great prosperity to the guilds. Since the so-called “Little Swear Letter,” they have been represented on the city council, but they are always in the minority. It's time for a guilds rebellion! Above all, bakers, tanners, millers, fishermen and butchers want to put an end to the supremacy of the patricians! But they must be careful not to uncover their plan prematurely. For this, they need you as middlemen and women, because only you can move unobtrusively through the city...

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 Ulm's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the rebellion of the guilds in Ulm. 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 Ulm near the Schwörhaus.

Once upon a time, it was something completely different from a standard city tour. You were completely independent of time, you could stay at the stations for as long as you like and interrupt with a visit to the café, which was also good when it was cold. Big disadvantage: the poor Internet in downtown Ulm (at least O2). You have to run away from stations more often to be online again. Very suitable for older, tech-savvy visiting groups of students and gym students with an advanced history course.
