Mystery City Games are a mix between a scavenger hunt, escape room, and a self-guided walking tour.
It’s a bit like the Da Vinci Code or National Treasure – it’s about using clues hidden in the architecture of the city to solve a mystery. You can play competitively, but you can also relax and go your own pace, enjoying shops or cafés along the way.
No app is needed – we think treasure hunts are more fun with real treasure maps, locks, and beautiful pieces.
