Self-guided scavenger hunt and city game in Bamberg
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Enjoy a unique experience in Bamberg directly with your smartphone. Let yourself be whisked away into the story of the witch hunts that took place in Bamberg.
Our city rally was lovingly researched by us on site, created without AI, and has a genuine connection to Bamberg. As you solve the puzzles of this exciting story, you will pass by Bamberg's most beautiful sights. You solve the puzzles directly with and at the sights.
Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case. Are there more than 6 of you (up to a maximum of 50 people)? Then we recommend splitting up into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not everyone is well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!
Use our city map to puzzle your way from station to station along the story. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights.
Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want.

Interesting story but difficult to play

2.00The story about witch hunt was overall well researched , but far too much text. The first station was unfortunately in a construction site and navigation with the map and the text would have to be modernized somewhat. The numbering of the stations was not logical and we gave up after 3 stations. A good idea but definitely worthy of revision to become more user-friendly.
Good for looking at Bamberg places of interest. Not so good if you are not German

3.00Good points We got to see some wonderful places that we would not have ever visited if we had not booked this scavenger hunt. We learnt a lot about the witch hunts of Bamberg Could do better The map of the area was not easy to read and we got lost several times, it needs to be linked with google maps. This was very tiring and tedious. Some of the answers were impossible to find. Because we were from the UK some of the questions did not translate to English well. Disappointed with the final monument for the witches, we thought that the sculptures had been removed as there was just a load of blobs on the floor. Overall We had an entertaining few hours but prefer exploral scavenger hunts, however they did not do Bamberg in English, so a big tick in the box for trying!
