About this activity

A GPS-guided exploration game where you follow Rahel Hirsch, a woman searching for her lost memories across Frankfurt's historic center. Solve puzzles, riddles, and photo challenges to uncover her story and discover the city's hidden history.

Frankfurt's streets hold more than history for Rahel Hirsch. They hold the missing pieces of her mind. Born here but long gone, she has returned with a purpose she can no longer remember. A blow to the head has left her with only fragments: her name, her profession, and a city that feels both familiar and strange.


Walk beside Rahel through bustling squares and quiet lanes as she searches for clues to her own past. Piece together her memories, uncover the reason she has returned, and help her find the work she was meant to finish. Some cures heal the body. Others heal the mind.


You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
