Mainz, 1430. The city is on the brink of chaos. As young Johannes Gutenberg, you carry more than ink-stained fingers—you carry the fate of your family’s name and the future of the written word.
Patricians clash with guilds, and the relic of St. Martin, lost to time, may be the only key to peace. Solve clues hidden in ancient alleyways, follow whispers of history through cobbled streets, and retrace the steps of a legend.
This outdoor quest is a walking puzzle woven into the fabric of Mainz, where every discovery brings you closer to the relic—and to saving your legacy. Play with friends or family and create a story worth printing.
What to Expect
This self-guided walking tour in Mainz combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 10 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.
The entire quest takes approximately 4260 minutes to complete and covers 1.7km 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 Mainz.
