Where scavenger hunt meets sightseeing and outdoor escape game adventure

Your Adventure Mission

Discover well-known places along the river Havel in Potsdam in a whole new way with the city game 'Traces on The Banks' 

The Story

An exciting search for clues awaits you along the Havel River and through Potsdam’s famous Schiffbauergasse. Marit Holm, a renowned specialist in Prussian cultural treasures, has disappeared. Shortly before, her daughter Lina receives an anonymously delivered package containing a memory card from her mother. But did the package really come from Marit Holm – or is someone else behind her disappearance?

Your Goal

Help Lina solve the mystery and discover Potsdam with fresh eyes along the way. Was Marit Holm kidnapped, or has she fled abroad with the valuable Prussian treasure? Find the answer on your adventure.

This Game’s Puzzle Highlights

Of course, we do not want to reveal all the puzzles just yet.
Here is a little preview of our carefully crafted and elaborately installed puzzles – without giving too much away.

Pendulum in The Museum

Hundreds of people walk past it every year without noticing. During the game, you will uncover its true meaning and set the mysterious pendulum in motion. Do not worry: there is nothing mystical about it—this is about combining clues cleverly, looking closely, and having the right spark of insight.

Magic with the Wooden Box

From the outside, it seems harmless but inside, it holds the next crucial clue. To open it, you will need skill, finesse, and perhaps a touch of luck. You might almost believe it could only be opened by magic.

How to Book for More Than 6 People

For the ideal combination of fun and team building, we recommend a maximum of six people per group.Of course, you can still play City Codes with more than six participants. For that, you can choose between several options.

Option 1

7-12 Participants

Simply book different games at the same time. All games in a city start and end at the same location. This way, you can play different adventures simultaneously and afterwards have plenty to talk about as you share your experiences with each other.

Option 2

7-24 Participants

In addition to Option 1, you can also play the same game in staggered groups. For example, the first group of up to six people can start at 10:00 a.m., followed by the second group at 10:15 a.m. This way, you can take part in several groups and still enjoy the same adventure.

Option 3

More Than 25 Participants

If Options 1 and 2 are not suitable for you, we will be happy to support you with the planning. Simply contact us by phone, email, or through our inquiry form. We are happy to help.
