Real haunted houses, former hangman squares and old tombs make the city center of Vienna a perfect place for a ghost hunt of a completely different kind. After all, few people still know about the gruesome events that have taken place there in Vienna from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Not even among the true Viennese there are many who know about the city's gruesome places, ghost houses and hidden torture chambers.

We had no idea this was self guided. No where did it explain that pr that it was a scavenger hunt. There are online scavenger hunts at 1/4 of the price. Do not book this. £62 and all we got was a set of clues and we had to write the answer to the riddles (write in the snow!!!). This is an absolute con.

It was lovely! It was totally nice to discover little things about the city that I had not noticed before. Two hours that fly by.

Everything worked out wonderfully. We have been received superbly and the whole organization was excellent. We felt very comfortable and the team had fun exploring, puzzling and shivering in the city. We definitely recommend it!

Impressive! Admission is free, and if you go to Mass time, the better. It is undergoing restoration by cleaning outside. I have visited her several times and she always impresses.

A super Ralley. You experience Vienna in a completely different way. Were as a company in Vienna, but would always do the Ralley again when I am there with friends privately. You get to places and experience things that you would almost certainly never find out. Definitely highly recommended. Also the contact and communication before was with ArchaeoNOW well and very fast

I took part in the puzzle rally "The spooky city" with my grandson! It was a great experience! Very well organized with a city map and puzzle clues, or rather envelopes with clues. We really enjoyed the puzzle rally and learned a lot about Old Vienna! My grandson talked about it enthusiastically at home afterwards! I can highly recommend this event! Many thanks to the organizers!

A very interesting concept for getting to know a city - or getting to know it better. We booked the "Scary City" tour with friends. I, who has been to Vienna several times, saw and learned a lot of new things. To do this, we had to solve puzzles. We found these quite easy in a group - but it was definitely very entertaining.

Very cool idea and well implemented. Nice little circular tour with interesting information about downtown Vienna. Puzzles are not hard.
