About this quest
Discover Munich like a local, and see what hidden gems lie around the corner in the capital of Bavaria, all while playing as Henry, who needs to save Anna. Make sure to solve all the puzzles in order to save your friend from the malicious AI.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Repeat visitors, couples and friends who have already done Marienplatz get about two hours of quieter Munich, walking from St. Ludwig in Maxvorstadt past the Feldherrnhalle and St. Peter's Church to Gärtnerplatz. A light story runs alongside: as Henry, you solve puzzles to rescue Anna from a malicious AI. Anyone hoping to go inside the churches and museums should pick something else, as every stop is seen from outside.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at St. Ludwig München in Maxvorstadt and finishes at Gärtnerplatz, so it does not return to the start. On the way you pass the Bavarian State Library, the Monument to King Ludwig I, Wittelsbacherplatz, the Feldherrnhalle, St. Peter's Church and the Munich City Museum.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers around 2.8 km through the city centre. You can go at your own pace, since there is no guide or group to keep up with.
Do we go inside the churches and museums on the route?
No. Entering the places is not part of the experience. The story and puzzles are built around what you can see from outside at each stop, such as the Bavarian State Library, St. Peter's Church and the Munich City Museum.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route. Gather around a phone, follow the story of Henry trying to save Anna, and work out each puzzle together as you walk from St. Ludwig to Gärtnerplatz.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
There is no time slot to book. You can start whenever suits you, as there is no group to join and no guide to meet. If you want a coffee break or need to stop, pause the quest and continue later from where you left off.
What is the Hidden Gems of Munich mission?
Henry needs help finding his friend Anna. You follow the fictional rescue story through Munich, using clues to discover corners of the city beyond its most familiar landmarks.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue, with no guide or fixed start time. You can begin when it suits you and pause along the way.
How many accesses does our group need?
Classic quests sell access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
