Rendezvous Nr. 7

An old radio. Flea market goods. Heavy casing, lots of patina – and that is exactly what makes it charming. But it did not work. So it was unscrewed. And that is where it became strange. Because inside was not what one would expect: no loose wire, no trivial defect. Someone had altered the device. Hidden between wood, metal, and screws were seven heartfelt love letters from the year 1964, seven intricately made cipher boxes, a frightening newspaper article, and the question: What does all this mean?

Seven love letters – and each one seems too perfect, too deliberate, to be merely romantic. The lines are full of longing, but also full of hints that do not fit into a harmless love story. As if something is hidden between the lines that no one is meant to find. And then this second puzzle piece appears: a yellowed newspaper article from 1968. Not a pleasant feature, not a trivial review – rather a clue that suddenly turns everything upside down. What happened back then seems to be connected to the radio. And the deeper you delve, the clearer it becomes: These letters tell not only of love. They lead to a secret that no one has touched for decades.

You follow a mysterious trail along the most romantic places in the city – to where Vienna looks its most beautiful and where one would really just like to drift along. But you are not here to stroll. You must analyze the love letters on the radio and, with their help, decipher the seven cipher boxes found on the radio at the right places. Each box, if successfully opened, reveals a picture fragment that brings you closer to the truth bit by bit. Can you get the roaring radio to tell you its story?
