Hamburg, 1582. The air smells of salt, spices, and secrets. You are Abraham Ruah, a Sephardic Jew who fled the Inquisition in search of freedom—and found it in the bustling ports of Hamburg.
You came to sell your grandmother’s fish cakes… but a knife at your neck has other plans. What starts as a dream of a better life turns into a high-stakes chase through alleys, markets, and hidden docks. Solve real-world puzzles, follow cryptic clues, and walk alongside your friends or family as you uncover who wants you gone—and why.
A story of survival, food, and newfound freedom awaits. Will you find your place in the city, or disappear in its shadows?

Veel Gestelde Vragen
I only have an afternoon in Hamburg—could this fit my schedule?
Yes. The quest takes about an hour and a half, so you can squeeze it in between lunch at the harbor and an evening drink without feeling rushed.
Does the route stay near the water the whole time?
Pretty much. You’ll weave along the Elbe’s edge, through old piers and warehouse lanes, catching constant river views while chasing clues.
Is it mostly history facts, or is there a real story to follow?
It’s built around a story. You play as Abraham Ruah, a refugee rebuilding his life, making choices and discoveries as you explore.
What makes the scenery special on this walk?
The mix—classic ships at Landungsbrücken, red-brick Speicherstadt canals, the futuristic Elbphilharmonie skyline, plus hidden alleys most tourists miss.
Can we bring a dog or stroller?
Dogs are fine and love the waterfront air. A stroller works on most of the route, but a few cobblestone patches might be bumpy.
Is it better to start in the morning or late afternoon?
Morning gives you quieter streets and crisp harbor light; late afternoon means golden sunsets and time to grab dinner nearby afterward.
