YOUR FAMILY’S NEXT ADVENTURE
A little curiosity goes a long way.
Munich is no longer at peace. Flickering lights, icy winds, and whispers from the shadows haunt its streets.
Locals stay indoors, afraid of the spirit said to wander after dusk. You are the apprentice of a renowned ghost hunter, sent to solve the mystery — but now your mentor has vanished without a trace. The city is depending on you.
Explore Munich’s hidden corners and eerie landmarks as you walk, solve real-world puzzles, and follow cryptic clues to uncover the truth. This isn’t just a spooky stroll — it’s an interactive adventure to experience with friends or family, filled with tension, teamwork, and discovery. Will you succeed in sending the ghost back to the underworld… or join your mentor in the silence?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Adults and teens who enjoy a good scare can follow a vanished ghost hunter's trail after dusk, from the Diana Temple in the Hofgarten past the Frauenkirche to Alter Peter. Couples and friend groups get about two hours of eerie stories and street puzzles on their own schedule. Families with younger children should skip this one, as should anyone wanting a live guide to tell the tales.

Frequently asked questions
Which haunted places in Munich does this ghost walk visit?
The route runs from the Diana Temple in the Hofgarten past the Theatine Church, Wittelsbacherplatz, Salvatorkirche, the old Munich Wall, MaxTor, the Justus von Liebig monument, Max-Turm, Hartmannstrasse, Etstrasse, the Sitzender Keiler, the Frauenkirche and Marienplatz, ending at Alter Peter.
Where does the ghost walk start and finish?
It starts at the Diana Temple in the Hofgarten and finishes at Alter Peter, the church tower near Marienplatz. It is not a loop, so you end up in the old town centre rather than back where you began, after about 3.2 km of walking.
How long does it take?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles along the 3.2 km route. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a drink or a meal, and pick up the story again later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for children?
No, it is tagged as not for kids. The story is a horror and haunts tale about a spirit wandering the streets after dusk, so it suits adults and teens who enjoy spooky stories rather than families with young children.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no fixed time slot and no guide to meet. You start whenever you want, including after dark, and play on your phone. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, which makes it easy for couples and friends.
What’s the vibe of this quest—it’s scary or more ghost-story mood?
More mood than terror. You’re the apprentice of a ghost hunter; there are whispers, shadows, creepy folklore, but not full horror. Good for those who like goosebumps, not nightmares.
What if I'm not into ghosts—still worth doing?
Yeah – even if you don’t believe in hauntings, the old legends, architecture, and puzzles make this a really atmospheric walk. Think more folklore than fear.
Are there spots along the route where I can stop for food or coffee?
Yes! There are cafés and pubs in the old town near some of the stops. You can plan a break halfway (or two), enjoy something warm, especially if you play in the evening.
