Rediscover Berlin With a City Game: a Highlight from Start to Finish

How to Start your Outdoor Escape Game with City Codes

The scavenger hunt begins in Berlin at the corner of Friedrichstraße and Ziegelstraße. There, you can conveniently activate your mission on your smartphone via a link at your booked time. The game platform is intuitively designed and guides you step by step through the puzzles. Plan on about 2.5 hours so you can explore the city's highlights in between.
To be well prepared, you should bring weather-appropriate clothing, comfortable shoes, a smartphone with stable internet reception, and a pen for taking notes. A public transportation ticket for short distances is also important, as the route takes you over a longer distance. If you have any questions or problems along the way, you can get helpful tips and support at any time via the game platform.



End the Day in Style

In Berlin, groups of 2 to 6 people can solve puzzles together. If you are planning a larger outing with colleagues, friends, or the whole family, you can book several games at the same time or start the same adventure at different times. We are happy to advise you individually so that every group size can enjoy an unforgettable experience.

After your puzzle tour through Berlin, the scavenger hunt ends near the Friedrichstadt-Palast. What better way to celebrate your success together than with a cozy meal? For an additional fee, we are happy to organize a table reservation at one of our partner restaurants. Alternatively, your route can also be planned so that the last puzzle ends directly at your desired location. Just let us know when you book.

What Our Customers Say

Anne T.

“We played the city rally for the bachelorette party and had a lot of fun. The bride also really enjoyed it because she didn't want a traditional bachelorette party. We liked the puzzle in the Hackesche Höfe best, but there were also some cool things in the other puzzles.”

"City Codes was a birthday present, and I was skeptical at first. But I was really pleasantly surprised! As someone who enjoys board games, I thought the combination of puzzles, fresh air, and exploring the city was really great. I even like it better than an escape room because you're outdoors and learn exciting things about the city at the same time. I highly recommend it."

“We played it as a family with two children (aged 12 and 14) and really enjoyed it. Even the brief rain shower didn't dampen the mood. You can take shelter, after all. The children had fun too, and together we were able to solve almost all of the puzzles. It was good that we got immediate feedback via the game platform to see if the solution was correct. Sometimes we asked for a hint. All in all, it was a wonderful event for families and something different.”

“Great stuff! I played it with my friends. We often do scavenger hunts or geo coaching tours. We really liked City Codes because the puzzles are really special. Thumbs up, and we want to play the other games too.”
