You start with a puzzle box containing 21 game cards, a points card, a pen and a solution booklet. The route stretches about 5.5 km through Brandenburg an der Havel, taking you past the city's most significant landmarks. At each station, you solve a creative task that reveals details about the city's history and guides you to the next location. The puzzles are varied and designed to engage you as you walk, turning the route itself into part of the game.

The pace is entirely yours. You decide when to begin, how much time to spend on each puzzle, and whether you move quickly or linger. This works equally well as a couple's outing, a family activity, a weekend adventure with friends, or a gift someone can use whenever they choose. The self-guided format means no fixed schedule or group to keep up with. You navigate the city on your terms.
