Self-Guided The Bonn Syndicate City Escape Game

About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Bonn, Germany. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>Bonn sets you loose on Münsterplatz, in the middle of the pedestrian centre, and the trail moves off through the streets and quiet side lanes around it. Within a few turns you are standing in front of the Namen-Jesu-Kirche, reading a facade for something that does not belong there. It is an outdoor escape game: the city stays open, and the puzzles do the locking.</p><p><br /></p><p>The centre of Bonn is flat, compact and largely car free, which makes the walking simple for families with children, groups of friends, couples and colleagues. Two to five players make up a team sharing one phone, and every player takes a character with a task nobody else can carry out. Bigger groups divide into more than one team. There is no guide, and no fixed hour to start.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><p>Bonn needs only a short preparation from you.</p><ol><li>Book the City Game</li><li>Check the instructions email</li><li>Download the Loquiz app</li><li>Start playing whenever you like</li></ol><p><br /></p><p>Magnus is somewhere ahead with the stolen formulas, and recovering them means reading the old town of Bonn properly. Codes, riddles and photo assignments pull the team through the lanes off the main squares, where the roles agreed at the start decide who acts next. One player notices the pattern, another finds the number, a third keeps count of what has already been ruled out.</p><p><br /></p><p>More than one team makes the afternoon competitive, and that is exactly what makes it useful for team building. Break when you want, then carry on with the chase. Bonn will not have moved in the meantime.</p>
