Magdeburg Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

The game starts at Am Dom. In roughly two hours on foot you take in the Magdeburger Dom, the walled garden of the Möllenvogtei behind it and the Fürstenwall, the oldest rampart promenade in Germany, before coming back up the Breiter Weg. It is a self-guided walking tour built around a murder investigation. The old town of Magdeburg is compact and level, which suits families with children as much as a group of colleagues or two people on a weekend away. A team is at most four people sharing one phone, and a larger group simply forms more teams. Nobody guides you and no departure time is set for you.

Clues arrive as codes to break, photographs to take and interviews with digital characters whose accounts of the evening do not agree. Between the Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen and Hundertwasser's Grüne Zitadelle, every answer you work out cuts the list of suspects down. More than one team on the route turns it into a competition, which is why groups use it for teambuilding as well as a day out. Break for coffee on the Alter Markt, pick the trail up again, and close the case in Magdeburg when it suits you.
