Tour Overview

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the shadowed alleys of Cologne. You will explore 12 different locations while following the story of a woman with a burning mark searching for a cursed ritual tied to the cathedral district. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. The route stays in the old town, mixing historical events with local legends passed between residents. Perfect for mystery lovers, history enthusiasts and urban explorers.

Starting from the cemetery, the stops are spaced an average of around 400m apart, with each location taking around 11 min to complete. The route also passes through Alter Markt, Aachener Weiher and Cologne Cathedral. At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.
