What To Expect

We are located in Freiburg in 1679. Freiburg is French for the second time under King Louis XIV and thus the easternmost outpost against the Habsburg lands. King Louis therefore has the town and castle hill developed into a fortress by his master fortress builder Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. In 1679 Vauban is in Freiburg and begins the fortification construction. Centuries later, you can now find Vauban’s old granister (backpack) with many locked boxes and bags, as well as a book with his records of that time. There may be clues in these records about opening the locks – it seems Vauban didn’t just build a fortress here... Immerse yourself in Vauban's legacy and become part of Freiburg's history. Between the remains of ancient fortress walls and mysterious records, you solve tricky puzzles, open locked boxes and reveal the secrets of the famous fortress builder. A thrilling outdoor escape experience for friends, families or teams who want to combine history, nature and adventurous spirit.

What‘s Included

A fully equipped backpack with all the materials you need for puzzles (keys, boxes, maps, etc.). A brief introduction to the rules of the game and history.
