The starting point is on Ahstraße in Gelsenkirchen, a short walk from the Propsteikirche St. Augustinus. The route works its way from there to Heinrich-König-Platz and past the Hans-Sachs-Haus, keeping to the flat ground of the city centre. Gelsenkirchen provides the streets, and the murder mystery game provides everything else.
Families with children, groups of friends, couples and teams from work all handle this without trouble, and there is no disadvantage to playing on your own. One ticket equals one team of up to four people with a single phone between them, so a party of ten or twelve splits into three teams. There is no guide, no departure time to make and no queue, which means an afternoon in Gelsenkirchen can be arranged around whatever else is planned that day.

The case is the murder of Balthasar. Codes need cracking, photo tasks need staging, and digital characters give statements that only partly match one another. Around the Musiktheater im Revier one of those statements gives way, and every task you complete after that removes another name from the list of suspects.
Put two or three teams on the same case and the afternoon turns into a competition, which is why it is used for teambuilding as often as for a family outing. Break when you want and continue when you want, then settle the case in Gelsenkirchen whenever you get there.
