What To Expect
Which places are the oldest in Vienna? Where do you encounter mythical creatures? Why do we find mammoth bones at St. Stephen's Square? This puzzle rally promises a journey through time to Roman and medieval Vienna. Whether legendary buildings, medieval narrow streets or remains of the Roman legion camp Vindobona – every place tells stories from very old times. The game is played in small teams (one team per Booking Referral). At the beginning, the rally management briefly explains the process and provides everything needed for the game : game sheet, card and a bag of letters and materials. Afterwards, the teams move independently from station to station through the city centre and go on a search for clues on site, combining clues and cracking tricky puzzles. The rally management is close by throughout the game, easily accessible and happy to assist if a team doesn't know what to do or questions arise. At the end, the solutions are evaluated, the hidden code is cracked and the mysterious treasure chest is opened with a little sweet surprise.

A very big disappointment!

1.00I really have to ask myself what we paid so much money for here. Especially as a student, 30€ per person is not small at all. That's what you end up with nothing in your hands. You rush 2h through Vienna without having had the time to look at the places you pass in peace. We even had to Google the last answers so we wouldn't be late and our "caregiver" wouldn't have to wait for us. As a tourist, I had a slightly different idea of a puzzle rally, which according to the website promises that you "discover the city interactively." After the tour we asked our "supervisor" if we could at least take the task sheets with us so that we can follow the route again tomorrow. The answer here was: either write to the office again and ask for a summary or simply search Google for Vienna and myths . I thought I wasn't hearing properly. If I can Google the route so easily, I wonder here again why I booked this tour. I would have been more happy if you could hear the summary right away, if you are not allowed to take the tasks with you for copyright reasons. What I didn't like at all about this was the one question where you had to go to church to get the answer. Unfortunately, during our game there was just a mass at the time. I thought it was very inappropriate that we were more or less forced to run in there and disturb. Speaking of the questions, unfortunately the questionnaire was not entirely accurate. Likewise, the two pens that were in the bag with in it did not actually write either. Even if we were only two people, no group photo was taken of us, as will also be taken to the website. The highlight of the tour was of course the included "treasure chest filled with Viennese delicaciesN" as promised on the website. We were allowed to choose a little sweet at the end. When I look at the prices in the store for the sweets, I get more and more horrified. 1 kg of the Viennese sugar I get for 12,99€. If I now extrapolate this to the little Bobon, it is not to be put in any proportion at all in the framework of 30€ for participation for one person. Here the website is very misleading. Maybe, for the sake of honesty, you should write to her to let her choose a little thing from the treasure chest. Then the participants will not be disappointed if they are allowed to choose only a small piece of sugar (for 30€!?). The way this rally is designed, unfortunately I cannot recommend this tour to anyone who comes to Vienna as a tourist and wants to get to know another side of the city. Also, I can't imagine participating in a tour where I have to rush through the city where I live to answer the questions and can't learn or see anything at all.
great experience for team building to combine competition, sightseeing & collaboration

5.00We used the "Viennese Christmas" puzzle rally for a team building event in December with local and international colleagues. Both local and international people had a lot of fun learning new things about Vienna and Christmas - in a fun way. The tour was conducted in English in a very professional manner and was therefore suitable for international colleagues with no previous knowledge of the area and/or Vienna and is highly recommended. The organization with the team in advance was also uncomplicated and was tailored to individual wishes.
Rediscover Vienna again.

5.00Great tour through the 1. District for the children's birthday (8 years). The kids can orient themselves well with the map and enjoyed the puzzle rally!☺️👍🏼
The Price quality ratio leaves something to be desired...

3.00We have the puzzle rally for the 11th. My son's birthday booked. Thus, 7 children were on the way. My son was super enthusiastic about the idea beforehand, unfortunately the implementation was not as presented. We met with the "tour guide" Anna. She explained to the children what to do and put the documents in their hands and said that she will show up a few times, take photos, but then we will meet at the restaurant for graduation and point allocation. At first I was a little baffled, because after all this "experience" cost a lot. The children had to solve all the puzzles on their own and they had to find themselves alone in the 1st. Find your way around the district. The children are already 11-12 years old, but if they have no idea about the 1st. district, then the whole thing is a challenge. My husband and I spent 2 1/2 hours with the kids through the 1st. district and had to make sure everyone stayed together and motivated. The basic idea is generally good, but I would have liked at least an accompaniment for 250 euros if nothing else is included. In many locations you get food, drink, cake and fun at the price; therefore, in my opinion, the Price quality ratio does not fit at all.
Great afternoon

5.00We did the rally as a team event and had a lot of fun doing it. In between a little support and friendly support. We were also lucky with the weather, of course, so it was a quite challenging walk refreshed with a fine group experience and instructive details, some that was already known from school days. But also learned a lot. A successful afternoon.
