The experience

About this quest

Bregenz, present day. A locked instrument case. A letter from your late grandfather—once a beloved symphonist of the Bregenz Festival. 

He always spoke of a magical instrument, hidden away for the right hands to find. Now, it’s your turn. With only his cryptic words and memories of your childhood to guide you, follow the melodies of the past through the streets of Bregenz, solve the puzzles he left behind, and uncover the truth.

This real-world quest is more than a mystery—it’s a walk through legacy, music, and wonder. Bring your family or friends and explore together. Discover new corners of the city, challenge your mind, and create memories that linger like a haunting symphony. Will the case open for you?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families and groups of friends visiting Bregenz can follow a late grandfather's musical riddle from Leutbühel through the old town and along the lake to the Festspielhaus, solving puzzles at 15 stops. Bregenz Festival visitors will enjoy the music theme woven into the story. If you would rather ask a live guide questions, or cannot comfortably walk 2.5 km over about two hours, choose something else.
