Your city game box contains 11 sealed and numbered envelopes, each holding riddles that need to be solved. Following clear and precise directions, you will be taken on a walk through Weimar’s wonderful historic city center, as you solve the riddles to find your way to the various sights. Once you solve a riddle you will be given a number, which reveals which envelope to open next.

It came in German, but luckily was with a native German speaker who translated for me. It was an interesting way to explore a city and discover the sites, and I enjoyed that it was an analogue experience. It was a perfect solution for these socially distancing times. The box and cards are either a great keepsake or if you live nearby it's perfect to keep around for when others visit.

Hallo, insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen. Allerdings war es etwas ungünstig, dass wir an der Touristinfo die Box geholt haben und der Anfang dann ganz woanders war wo wir schon durch die Stadt laufen mussten. Mit Kindern sehr ungünstig und auch so sicher eine Möglichkeit der Verbesserung. Danke aber für die tolle Führung durch die Stadt :)

Entspannter Stadtrundgang gespickt mit etwas Rätselsspass - uns hat’s gefallen. Für jüngere Kinder nur bedingt geeignet (Infos mehr für Erwachsene, die Rätsel aber gut machbar). Wir haben die Schnitzeljagd ergänzt durch (Fuß-)Abkühlung in der Ilm, Blumen schnuppern an Goethes Gartenhaus und ein Eis.
