Berlin WWII Escape: Self-Guided Jewish History Puzzle Walk
Step into the past and navigate Berlin through the eyes of those who lived under the shadow of the Third Reich.
This Berlin WWII self-guided puzzle walk places you at the center of a gripping narrative: helping a young man escape Nazi Germany before World War 2 takes hold. Using only your smartphone and the Questo app, you solve clues that lead you through some of Berlin's most historically significant streets and landmarks.
The route unfolds across a curated selection of sites tied directly to the Nazi era, including Hausvogteiplatz, the Franzosischer Dom, the Bode Museum, and Monbijou Park. Each location comes with a story that connects the physical space to the lived experiences of people during Hitler's rise to power.
Rated easy in difficulty, the walk is suitable for a wide range of participants. There is no guide, no fixed schedule, and no map required. You can pause at any point and resume from your last checkpoint whenever you are ready.
The experience is designed to be both educational and engaging. Rather than passive sightseeing, you are asked to think critically, solve puzzles, and piece together a narrative that reflects a deeply important chapter of European and world history.

Tour Itinerary
Your adventure begins at this historically significant square in central Berlin. Once a center of Berlin's garment trade and later a site of persecution during the Nazi era, it sets the tone for the journey ahead.
Following your first clue, you arrive at this striking Gothic church. The surrounding area carries stories of displacement and resistance from the World War 2 period.
Solve the next puzzle to reach this landmark museum on Museum Island. Its history during the Nazi regime forms part of the narrative you are helping to unravel.
Two additional stops revealed only by solving clues are woven into the walk. Each unlocks a new chapter of the escape story and a fresh piece of Berlin's wartime history.
