This is a summer city rally through central Munich: a timed scavenger hunt and puzzle-driven walk that sends teams between Münchner Freiheit, the Englischer Garten and the university, letting players discover both iconic and lesser-known corners of the city while racing to solve clues.
Munich, Bavaria’s vibrant capital, offers more than just its famed beer gardens and historic architecture; it’s also a playground for urban adventure seekers.
