Tour Itinerary
The starting area places you at one of Europe's most recognizable Gothic structures. The app introduces the first clue and sets the tone for the investigation ahead.
The cathedral square holds more than tourist footfall. Solve the puzzle here to reveal the eerie accounts tied to this open expanse at the heart of the city.
The narrow lanes of Cologne's Altstadt contain layers of history that the app draws to the surface through interactive storytelling and location-based clues.
Further into the route, the clues guide you to lesser-known corners — villas and squares where the stories of former residents take on a distinctly unsettling character.
The last puzzle unlocks the concluding chapter of the quest, tying together the spirits, skeletons, and captive souls encountered throughout the route.
