You step off the tram at Alter Markt and the square is already working on you: gulls wheel over the harbor, cries from market stalls echo off brick facades, and cobblestones nudge your shoes into a rhythm. The Syndicate hands you a role, a motive, and a two-hour deadline — and suddenly Kiel’s compact center becomes a live board for puzzles, photo tasks, and alleyway sleuthing.
