The year is 1991; the great city of Berlin is coming to terms with the bloodshed of the last century. Memories seep from every inch of concrete.

A week ago you got an email from Mendel, your best friend in the years leading up to the outbreak of war in Europe. To find peace, Mendel is visiting Berlin. Your mission is to re-trace the steps of your youth and meet your friend.

Interessante Tour, bei der man viel über das jüdische Berlin lernt. leider stimmen nicht alle Wegbeschreibungen.

The quest had misleading directions (going to the first cemetery, finding the head on the building, the use of the phrase " end of the street" inconsistently). It could've been shorter and more enjoyable if the directions between stops were clearer. The puzzles and the places were great and fun !
