The experience
About this quest
Please only play if you like solving hard puzzles! This game is like a difficulty escape room game.
In this adventure full of riddles and mystery, you will visit the significant sites of Munich, blended in with an immersive story. You will unravel the secret of your long-lost friend, but also the hidden heroes forgotten by history.
The puzzles range from normal to difficult. I recommend this game only to players who love challenging puzzles, and not to anyone looking for a city walking tour.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Escape-room fans, couples and small squads who like hard riddles get a little over two hours of puzzling across 3 km of Munich. The route runs from Mariensäule past Siegestor and the Bavarian State Library to St. Peter, while you uncover a long-lost friend's secret. Anyone after a relaxed sightseeing walk, or bringing young children, will find these advanced puzzles more frustrating than fun.

Frequently asked questions
What is the secret society game in Munich about?
It is an outdoor puzzle adventure played on your phone. You follow a story about the secret of a long-lost friend and the heroes history forgot, solving riddles at significant sites such as Siegestor, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz, the Monument Berlin Wall, Dianatempel and Alter Hof. It plays much like a hard escape room set in the city streets.
How difficult are the puzzles?
The quest is rated advanced, with puzzles ranging from normal to difficult. It is recommended only for players who love challenging puzzles, not for people looking for a city walking tour. Expect to think hard at each stop rather than simply read about the sights.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
You start and finish at Mariensäule, so the route is a loop of about 3 km. Plan on a little over two hours, depending on how quickly your group cracks the riddles. You can pause and continue later if you need a break.
Is it suitable for children?
Because the puzzles are rated advanced and range up to difficult, younger children are likely to struggle and lose interest. It suits older players who genuinely enjoy hard riddles and can walk around 3 km over a couple of hours.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, it is designed as a squad challenge and one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. There is no set time slot, so start whenever you like. It is outdoors, so bring water, a hat and sunscreen, and a charged phone or power bank.
Who is the Secret Society in Munich quest for?
It is for players who enjoy a more puzzle-focused outdoor mystery. The fictional Lion League story asks you to solve demanding clues around significant Munich locations.
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.
