About this activity

A puzzle hunt through Frankfurt for anyone who loves escape games. At each of 6 stops, the app sends you to a real monument, tower or statue and sets you a riddle about it. The clues are hidden in plain sight, and only careful observers will crack them. No prior knowledge needed: everything you need is right in front of you, and every riddle is multiple choice. The closer you look, the more the city starts to talk back.

The route is about 2 km, from the Zeil through the old town and across the Main to Sachsenhausen, past hidden corners most visitors pass without a second glance. Allow around 1.5 hours. It ends at one of Frankfurt's famous traditional restaurants, the perfect place for authentic local food. Play solo or together; each player books their own spot.

Start any time during opening hours, at your own pace. After booking you receive a code: open the free app on your phone or in your browser, create an account, redeem the code for 10 gems and unlock this walk.

Itinerary

Zeil

10 min

Stop 1 of 6. The hunt starts on Frankfurt's busiest shopping street, where the first clue hides in plain sight among the crowds. From here the app guides you south into the old town.
Romerberg

20 min

Stops 2 and 3 of 6. The old town square, framed by half-timbered gables and the town hall. Two riddles wait here: the answers are carved, cast or painted into the buildings themselves, so look up and look closely.
Iron Bridge

10 min

Stop 4 of 6. The old iron footbridge across the Main, with the skyline behind you and the river below. The riddle here is written into the bridge itself, if you know where to look.
Sachsenhausen

25 min

Stops 5 and 6 of 6. The old quarter of cobbled lanes and apple wine taverns. The last two riddles are solved here, and the walk ends at one of Frankfurt's famous traditional restaurants, where you can stay for a glass of local apple wine.
