How does the detective trail work?

You can start without an appointment. After purchasing, you decide whether to solve the puzzles digitally on your smartphone or with the printed treasure map.

At the starting point, follow the illustrated directions from station to station. Along the way, you solve various puzzles using clues you find on site. This lets you discover interesting and surprising facts about the area.

At the end, use the correct answers to create a four-digit code. With this code, you open the treasure chest and pick a small instant prize.

If you get stuck on a puzzle, hints to the solutions are available in both the digital and printed versions.

If the weather is bad, you can be flexible with your timing. You can postpone your adventure to another day and complete the trail later.
