You step out of Alexanderplatz into a corridor of postwar concrete and baroque facades, puzzle box in hand, the Spree nudging the city’s edges as you set the pace. The hunt threads 16 stations through Mitte — Berlin Cathedral, Red Town Hall, the Chancellery’s sober geometry, and finally the checkpoint that marks the Cold War’s carved line.

Allow shipping time
Book at least a week in advance so the scavenger box (shipped 3–5 working days) arrives before your start date.
Cobblestones and city pavement
Wear supportive shoes — much of Mitte uses historic cobbles that are uneven underfoot.
Bring a charged phone
Although the box provides paper clues, a charged phone helps with maps, transit or quick fact‑checking.
Pace with public transit
If you want to shorten the route, public transport connects several stations and makes loop options easy.

Charged smartphone
