Is this for you?
Who it's for
Friends, couples and families with older children who want a playful few hours in Graz's old town get close to three hours of real-world puzzles, led by a local character called Maria from Hauptplatz past the Glockenspiel, the Uhrturm and the Murinsel. It plays more like a game than a history tour. If you want a live guide to ask questions, or your children are too young for medium-difficulty puzzles over 3.1 km, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a city game you can play in Graz?
Yes. This is a self-guided game played on your phone through the old town. Maria, your local friend in the story, leads you between 14 stops, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you, ending with helping a long-forgotten guardian roam free again.
What kind of puzzles does this Graz quest have?
The puzzles are interactive and solved in the real world, using what you see at each stop, from the Landhaushof and the Doppelwendeltreppe to the Mausoleum and the Kunsthaus Graz. They are pitched at medium difficulty, so expect to look closely and think together as you walk.
Is it a good puzzle rally for kids in Graz?
It is family friendly and suits older children who enjoy solving puzzles alongside adults. The difficulty is medium and the route covers 3.1 km over close to three hours, so very young children may find the puzzles hard and the walk long.
Where does the quest start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at Hauptplatz and finishes at Gemaltes Haus, a loop that brings you back to where you began. The route is 3.1 km, and with walking and puzzles most players take close to three hours.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers the whole group playing together. There is no time slot to book: start whenever you like, pause and continue later. The route is open 24/7 but works better in daylight, and a fully charged phone or power bank is a good idea.
