Overview

Do you like walking in a town and imagining how it was in the past? What about playing puzzle games? Our unique quest-tour is a thrilling combination of a treasure hunt and a sightseeing tour of the city.

Explore Vienna Old town through a discovery game that lasts 3 hours. Guided by a famous historical character, you will make your way through the city, following the route from one point to another, searching for answers, performing different tasks, solving clues, and getting to know stories and tales of old Vienna. The tour is private and to make it more fun there's a possibility to make it as a race within your teams (for groups of 8 and more people).
