Mystery City Games are a mix between a scavenger hunt, escape room, and a self-guided walking tour.

It’s a bit like the Da Vinci Code or National Treasure – it’s about using clues hidden in the architecture of the city to solve a mystery. You can play competitively, but you can also relax and go your own pace, enjoying shops or cafés along the way.

No app is needed – we think treasure hunts are more fun with real treasure maps, locks, and beautiful pieces. 

The secretive Order of the Rosy Cross is looking for new members. In order to prove your worth, you must solve their ancient mystery and uncover the identity of one of their historic members, known to you only as A Secret Sender.
