The experience
You meet your local guide in Dresden's old town, who explains the mission: hunt down a famous master thief by solving puzzles stationed at the city's most beautiful sights. The guide sets you loose as a special unit to work through the adventure together, moving between real locations in the old town while you crack each puzzle to advance the story. The whole thing runs 90 minutes from start to finish.
You'll carry a puzzle package and an iPad throughout, both provided, to track clues and solve challenges at each stop. The puzzles are designed to send you to specific landmarks and sights, so you're discovering Dresden's architecture and layout as part of the hunt, not just sitting in one room. Groups range from two to thirteen people depending on which option you choose at checkout, so you can book for a couple or bring a larger party.
When the 90 minutes are up, you reconvene with the guide for a short evaluation of how you performed. The old town location means public transport is nearby if you need it, and the entire route is wheelchair accessible. Drinks are available on site if you want to wind down together after the game.
What’s included
- Free loan of the puzzle package and iPad for the duration.
- live guide in German who briefs you at the start and debriefs you at the end.
- access to all puzzle stops across Dresden's old town.
- the option to order drinks on site afterward.
