The experience

About this quest

In this game you will take a walk through old East Berlin and the famous Prenzlauer Berg district, where many protests for democracy and the release of political prisoners began. Consider the political motivations of the Stasi, see the secret lookout points where they kept tabs on activity around the Eastern side of the wall. Learn all about the interesting changes they imposed and the power they leveraged—including the resulting stoicism of brave refugees.

Are you ready to step out into No Man’s Land?
