WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
SHORTFACTS
Number of people and teams*
With the purchase of this mission, you will receive a standard access link to our investigation platform, which you can open either all together on one smartphone or (if you wish) each person on their own device. From 6 people onwards, we recommend dividing into teams that can play against each other simultaneously. Each team receives its own access link, investigates on its own, and at the end receives its own success rate as well as a place on the high score list. This way, you can compare yourselves and crown a winning team.
Playable without an appointment
You do not need to book an appointment for this mission and are thus fully flexible. Immediately after purchase, you will receive an access link to our investigation platform by email, through which you can start the mission at any time.
Outdoor | Vienna City Center
The missions take place exclusively outdoors and lead you across the center of Vienna (passing by numerous sights). The start is at Minoritenplatz, 1010 Vienna - the end is in the Vienna City Park. In total, about 3.5 km are covered on foot.
120-180 minutes playtime
This information refers to the average playing time. We ourselves do not set a time limit. So you can play as long as you want/need and also take breaks.
Difficulty ■■■□□
This mission is of medium difficulty and therefore – depending on how many clues are used – suitable for young people, adults, beginners, and also experts.
Suitable for ages 10 to 99 years
We recommend this mission for children aged at least 10 years. Since the route also goes alongside busy roads, groups of children should never travel alone.
In German and English
This mission can be played in both German and English. The choice is made at the start of the mission. Since there are also language puzzles, we recommend agreeing on one language within the team.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
THE STORY
The Background Story
It began with tiny inconsistencies. First in one museum – then in others. A sculpture whose surface suddenly seemed a touch too smooth. A historic manuscript whose ink suddenly shimmered strangely in the light. And a Roman coin find whose engraving looked inexplicably fresh out of nowhere. Small details, a trace too inconspicuous to raise alarm. As it later turned out: a fatal mistake. Until a restorer had the courage to say what no one dared at first: “These … are not the originals.”
The Crime
What then came to light shook the city like nothing had for a long time. The greatest art theft in the history of Vienna – carried out not with force, but with unique patience and frightening precision. A criminal group of art lovers and historians had observed originals for months, stolen them, and replaced them with deceptively true copies. The genuine masterpieces were sold on the black market – for sums that one can only acknowledge with a shake of the head.
Your task
The wrongdoers are now behind bars – yet they remain one step ahead of us. For the stolen artworks, they accepted payment in cryptomoney. Secure, anonymous, and hard to trace. The entire fortune ended up in a single digital purse, stored on an unremarkable USB stick. The access key? A unique puzzle, filled with mysterious messages and riddles that lead to the most well-known places in the city and there, where thousands of people pass by daily, present us with an almost insurmountable challenge.
Insurmountable – until now. Because now it’s your turn! Follow the traces the wrongdoers left across Vienna and prove what you are made of. Are you ready to give Vienna a piece of its history back?
