CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Think you know your city's streets? Think again. You're being watched, and it just got very personal. Your sister is gone, and a sadistic mastermind named "Razor" is holding the blade.
You’re not just taking a walk; you’re a pawn in a twisted scavenger hunt where the stakes are life and death. To find her, you’ll have to save others first—strangers trapped in Razor’s deadly games. You’ll need to solve sinister puzzles and help a detective trace the killer's location.
The clock is ticking, and every wrong move brings your sister one step closer to her final cut. Do you have the nerves to outsmart a killer, or will you become just another notch on his blade?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This edition sends you on a 2 km walk through Berlin's streets, about 90 minutes of tracing a killer called Razor, freeing his trapped victims and solving sinister puzzles to reach your missing sister. It suits friends, couples after a dark date night and escape-room regulars who want to play outdoors. Younger teens or anyone after Berlin history should pick another quest, since this is a grim serial-killer rescue story.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A sadistic killer has people trapped around Berlin and has given you the only clock that matters.
Crack story-driven puzzles under pressure, each one a setup you have to undo before the person inside it runs out of time.
A route of 2 km from Friedrichswerder Church, running past Bebelplatz, Gendarmenmarkt, and Werderscher Markt, turns streets you thought you knew into a crime scene.
For horror and thriller fans, best with a friend who keeps their head, and not the gentlest way to spend an evening.
Just your phone, playable after dark for the full effect, and you decide when the next victim gets your attention.

Frequently asked questions
Is this horror quest suitable for children or teenagers?
It is written mainly for adults. The story follows a sadistic mastermind who has taken your sister and traps strangers in deadly games, so it is not suited to young children. Parents of teenagers should decide whether they are comfortable with a dark, violent theme before playing.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes and a walk of about 2 km. You can pause the game at any point and continue later, so a break for food or a drink does not end your rescue mission.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no guide and no group to join, so you start whenever you like. That makes it an easy choice when you are deciding on the spot what to do tonight, including around Halloween.
Can we play together as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. You play on your phones, solve the puzzles together and work out the killer's next move as a team.
Is it like an outdoor escape room?
In many ways, yes. Instead of a locked indoor room, you walk through Berlin solving sinister puzzles to save others and help a detective locate the killer. Because it is played outdoors, dress for the weather, and pause if the rain gets heavy.
What is 20 Cuts in Berlin about?
Razor has abducted your sister and forces you into a dangerous fictional scavenger hunt. You solve sinister puzzles and help a detective trace the killer before the case ends badly.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
