In the organizer's words:

Ready for a city rally adventure?
Solve puzzles as a team, collect fun facts and discover your city from a new perspective. Our smartphone city rally combines the best of a scavenger hunt, city tour and escape room - in the fresh air and at your own pace.
Perfect for families and (adult ;)) groups of friends who want to upgrade their next walk, explore a new neighborhood and experience a micro-adventure. Depending on your mood, you can split into teams and play against each other in battle mode or enjoy the tour together.

Your mission in Cologne - "Medieval conspiracy against Katharina"

Cologne, end of January 1627: The smoke of the pyres hangs over the city, rumors of witches and devilish pacts are doing the rounds. You are standing secretly in the shadow of an old town house when Hartger Henot pleads with you: "The trial is a farce - my sister is not a witch!" Katharina Henot, a wealthy and influential citizen, is to be burned to death despite not having confessed. Someone is pulling the strings in the background - and you are the only ones who can stop the murder plot.

Your mission
You take on the role of a discreet detective agency that doesn't officially exist. Only the richest families in Cologne know your name. Together you follow the clues through the old town, collect secret messages, question incriminating statements and reconstruct who has an interest in getting Katharina out of the way.
Under time pressure you must:

decipher hidden clues at historical locations,
weigh up the motives of councillors, clergymen and rivals,
sort through clues and uncover false leads,
and finally make a clear decision: Who is behind the plot - and can you still save Katharina?

The city rally combines the excitement of a mystery escape game with real Cologne city history. You play at your own pace, outside in the fresh air, using only your smartphones and your investigative skills.

What you experience:

True history, told in a playful way: You immerse yourself in the real-life case of Katharina Henot and experience how quickly reputation, power and rumors made the difference between life and death in the 17th century.
Power politics in Cologne during the Thirty Years' War: you will learn about the role played by the council, the church and wealthy families and how personal enmities could get caught up in the maelstrom of the witch trials.

How it works
Start: When you want, flexible on the day of your choice, playable 24/7.
Duration: approx. 120 minutes
You need: Charged smartphones and some data volume.
Starting location: Cologne Cathedral forecourt.
