The mission: Your story in Berlin
You're the American-born child of German immigrants, visiting for the first time the country of your parents. They know that some of their old friends might be having a hard time after the Nazis came to power one year ago, so they've asked you to visit the Blum family in Berlin and ask them if you can help them in any way.
You're going to help Mr. and Mrs. Blum get their son Alfred out of the country. They know he's hiding somewhere in the city, and they know a man with connections in the underworld, who knows the location of Alfred. If you find this man, he'll then help you get a fake passport for Alfred to leave Germany.
You'll walk through the old clothing industry center, the university district and a very Jewish neighborhood, in a city that's been changing a lot since Hitler was appointed chancellor. You need to hurry up, because you don't know if things will get even worse for people like Alfred in the future. You owe this to your parents – and to the Blums, who are a lovely couple.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the deal with this quest?
You follow the Blum family’s story: they’re Jewish in Nazi-Berlin and things are getting dangerous. You solve clues, sneak through streets, try to help them survive. It’s intense, emotional, but also powerful and meaningful.
Is this good for a date?
Yes—if you want something more than dinner. This has weight, emotion, shared moments that stick with you. Walking together, solving, remembering—it can be really special.
What spots in Berlin will we see?
You’ll pass important historical landmarks (Mitte area), possibly places tied to Jewish history, reminders of WWII, plus streets that show both beauty and scars—lesser-known corners that make the story real.
Do we have to go with a guide or join a group?
Nope. It’s self-guided. You open it on your phone, start where the quest says, and go however fast or slow you want.
Will locals still learn something new?
Yes, totally. Even if you know Berlin well, stories around WWII and Jewish heritage are deep, many details are easy to miss. The quest highlights those angles many walk past without noticing.
How hard are the puzzles? Will we get stuck?
They’re challenging but fair. You’ll have moments of “aha!” and maybe confusion, but nothing so hard you want to give up. Pauses are part of the journey.
