A self-guided puzzle walk through central Berlin that turns iconic WWII and Cold War sites into a city game. Solve location-based challenges at Alexanderplatz, Bebelplatz, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe while moving at your own pace.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start at the Urania World Clock in Alexanderplatz, phone in hand, the city breathing around you — tram bells, cyclists, the distant hum of the Spree. The app gives the first riddle and the ordinary square becomes a map of choices: follow a clue to the Rathaus, thread between the churches at Gendarmenmarkt, or stand quietly at Bebelplatz where books were burned.

Download and test the app first
Install the game and run the opening screen on Wi‑Fi before you start — the experience supports offline play but needs initial setup.
Respect memorial spaces
When you reach memorials and sensitive sites, pause the game and observe rules: no loud behavior, no climbing, and photography that is considerate of other visitors.
Mind the cobbles and steps
Cobblestone streets and sudden steps are common; wear sturdy shoes and watch your step in low light.
