You step off a tram and the city opens in pragmatic vignettes: the Spree pushes lazily past Museum Island, cobblestones give way to wide boulevards, and the Brandenburg Gate watches traffic like a patient gatekeeper. The scavenger hunt routes you through these contrasts—Alexanderplatz’s clock faces, the green curve of Lustgarten, the neoclassical façades around Gendarmenmarkt—each clue sending you to the next visible landmark.
