About this quest

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?

Highlights

  • Explore Frankfurt’s charming Römerberg and Alte Stadt

  • Take a stroll along the River Main in search of often unseen sights

The mission: Your story in 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!
