A late-morning bell from the Münster cuts through the crisp Freiburg air and your phone pings — Detective Morgan has a new recording. You step off Münsterplatz onto cobbled lanes where the audio guide sets a mystery in motion: clues tucked behind fountains, riddles threaded through market stalls, and a race of wits around the Potato Market and the Old Synagogue Square. The city’s sandstone facades and narrow alleys become stages; passersby are props in a story you uncover one solved task at a time.
