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.”

David M.

"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."

Susanne W.

“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.”
