A late-afternoon light lingers over the grid of Mannheim’s Quadrate as a group pulls up their phones and becomes something else: a team of operatives hunting a missing formula. The Syndicate City Escape Game starts in the compact city center and moves at the players’ pace — through cobbled passages, across plazas, and past the baroque façade of Mannheim Palace — with the city itself acting as a mutable game board.
