About this Tour

Discover Frankfurt in a fun and interactive way with the Self-Guided Secrets of Frankfurt Exploration Game. This GPS-based city game takes you through the historic center of Frankfurt, where you solve riddles, answer questions and complete photo challenges using your smartphone.

Your adventure follows Rahel Hirsch, who was born in Frankfurt but has returned to the city with a purpose she can no longer remember. After a blow to the head, only fragments remain: her name, her profession and a city that feels both familiar and strange.

As you move through Frankfurt’s lively squares, quiet streets and cultural landmarks, you will help Rahel piece together her memories. Each clue brings her closer to understanding why she returned and what important work she was meant to finish. Some cures heal the body. Others heal the mind.

Along the way, you may discover highlights such as the historic square with colorful houses, Paulskirche, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt Cathedral, Schirn Kunsthalle and beautiful skyline views. The game combines sightseeing, storytelling and interactive challenges into one unique experience.

The game is fully self-guided, so there is no in-person guide. After booking, you receive a direct play link by email. Go to the starting point at Kunstverein, open the link on your smartphone and start whenever you like. You can also pause the game and continue later.
