Sobre esta experiencia

Frankfurt, 1548. The Holy Roman Empire is watching, and you have a mission. Priceless relics have vanished from the Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew—an act of heresy and rebellion in a city just brought back under Imperial control. 

As tensions rise, you must walk the storied streets of Frankfurt’s old town, uncovering secrets, solving real-world puzzles, and following the trail of the Schmalkaldic League’s shadowy agents. 

This is no ordinary stroll—it's a hunt through time. Team up with friends or family, connect through history, and turn this city into your mystery. The Empire counts on you. Will you answer the call?

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Frankfurt combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 11 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 5340 minutes to complete and covers 2.4km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Frankfurt.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

La misión: Tu historia en Frankfurt

The year is 1548.

The Holy Roman Empire dispatches Kaspar Spiess, the chief-inquisitor of the Emperor, to the Free City of Frankfurt to track down and locate stolen relics from the Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew.

There’s growing discontent within the city. After years of war with the Protestant Schmalkaldic League, the Imperial Free City is now once again under direct Imperial control, with Catholicism returned to power.

The theft of priceless relics from a Catholic church is a blatant affront to the Emperor, and only agents of the Schmalkaldic League would dare to be so bold. An attack on the church is an attack on the empire, and the relics must be returned swiftly.

After hours of grueling travel, there’s no time to lose. Track down the thieves and locate the missing relics. The Holy Roman Empire demands it!
