Self-guided scavenger hunt and city game in Heidelberg
Overview
Enjoy a unique experience in Heidelberg directly with your smartphone. Let yourself be whisked away into the story of "the jester", the keeper of the Heidelberg wine barrel, who lived in Heidelberg.
Our city rally was lovingly researched by us on site, created without AI, and has a genuine connection to Heidelberg. As you solve the puzzles in this exciting story, you will pass by some of Heidelberg's most beautiful sights. You solve the puzzles directly with and at the sights.
Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case. Are there more than 6 of you (up to a maximum of 50 people)? Then we recommend splitting up into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not everyone is well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!
Use our city map to puzzle your way from station to station along the story. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights.
Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want.
