A chill from the lake cuts across the quay as a small group gathers beneath the shadow of the town’s medieval tower. Players open the supplied backpack, and the game begins: cryptic maps, brass keys, and weathered notes that point the way through alleys, parks and shoreline paths. The air smells of damp stone and riverweed; the lake dares you to move faster.

A chill from the lake cuts across the quay as a small group gathers beneath the shadow of the town’s medieval tower. Players open the supplied backpack, and the game begins: cryptic maps, brass keys, and weathered notes that point the way through alleys, parks and shoreline paths. The air smells of damp stone and riverweed; the lake dares you to move faster.
The story is rooted in 17th‑century history — the game places participants in January 1643 amid the chaos of local conflicts during the Thirty Years’ War. Routes thread past wartime ramparts, churchyards and wooded edges that reveal the geology of Lake Constance’s shore: glacially carved terraces, steep promenades and loamy soils that support mixed beech and alder stands.
Cultural details surface in small things: guildhouse facades, memorial plaques, and fishing traditions still practiced along the shore. The experience is equal parts local history lesson and scavenger hunt, designed for teamwork rather than speed.
Practical guidance: the tour runs about three hours and covers varied terrain — paved streets, park trails and short staircases — so wear sturdy shoes and layers. The operator supplies all puzzle materials; bring a charged phone for photos and emergency navigation. Groups can be large but the format rewards clear roles: a navigator, a clue reader and a note‑keeper.
Timing matters: late afternoon light over the lake sharpens clues and views, while damp weather makes stone steps slippery. Expect moderate physical demand, light scrambling and frequent stops for puzzle work. For teams that like puzzles and history, Konradin’s Escape turns Überlingen’s shoreline into a playable piece of the past.
moderate.
3 hours.
Participants should be in moderate physical shape — able to walk 4–6 km on mixed surfaces and climb short stair sections without difficulty.
The activity runs about three hours, typically across 3–5 kilometers depending on route choices and group pace.
The operator accommodates private groups and larger bookings — games can host up to around 48 participants using split teams and staggered starts.
Yes, families can participate, but younger children should be comfortable walking for several hours and working in a team; guardians should judge puzzle complexity for their group.
Language options can vary by provider; check the booking page or contact the operator to confirm availability of English or other language materials.
The scenario references events during the Thirty Years’ War (early‑to‑mid 17th century) when Lake Constance towns were strategically important and frequently contested.
Visitors are encouraged to follow shoreline rules, avoid trampling lakeside vegetation and pack out all litter to protect fragile nearshore habitats.
