Cobblestones glint under a low northern sun as teams gather at the Town Hall square, maps folded, first card turning up a riddle that points toward the brick angles of Chilehaus. The game leads you through Hamburg’s compact center: you’ll pass the torn stone faces of St. Catherine’s Church, the ornate façade of the Rathaus and squeeze along canal edges where the Elbe still nudges the city awake.
