Self-Guided The Wiesbaden Syndicate City Escape Game

About this activity

This walking tours is one of the standout things to do in Wiesbaden, Germany. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €20 per person. <p>The Marktplatz in Wiesbaden is where this starts, between the Marktkirche and the Stadtschloss. From there the route feeds into the streets behind the square and works towards Kaiser-Friedrich-Platz. It is an outdoor escape room in the sense that the puzzles are locked to real places in Wiesbaden, not to a building you sit inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>You play in teams of two to five with one phone, and every player takes a character carrying part of the mission, so the solutions come out of the group talking rather than one person deciding. Families, friends, couples and office teams all use it. The centre is wide and orderly with long sightlines, and the ground rises gently as you move away from the market, so nothing about the walking is demanding. Groups over five form more teams. No guide is involved and no start time is set for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting under way in Wiesbaden takes four steps.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How to play</h3><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><strong>Magnus</strong> is the man with the stolen formulas, and the game is the chase after him. Codes, riddles and photo tasks come one after the other, and the character each player holds decides who takes which. The pursuit runs out past the Museum Reinhard Ernst and across Luisenplatz before the last stretch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two teams playing at the same time turn it into a contest, which is the reason it works for team building days. There is nothing stopping you from breaking for an hour and returning to the trail, and the game ends with the final clue somewhere in central Wiesbaden.</p>
