About this quest
You’ve just arrived in Berlin, full of excitement to begin your studies - and your new life. But on your very first morning, a mysterious note slips under your dorm room door: “Head to St. Thomas Church asap.” No name. No explanation. Just a location.
Curiosity gets the better of you, and you step into the streets of Kreuzberg, a district where history hums beneath graffiti walls and every alley has a story.
As you follow real clues through iconic sites and hidden corners, a secret network begins to reveal itself. Who sent the note? And why you? Walk, explore, and puzzle your way through Berlin’s past and present in this thrilling quest—perfect for friends, family, and curious minds alike. The city is waiting.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples, families and newcomers to Berlin who want to know Kreuzberg beyond Mitte can follow a secret-society mystery from St. Thomas Church past SO36, the Landwehr Canal and Admiralbrücke to Viktoriapark, solving clues along the way. It takes close to three hours and best suits daylight. With 4.9 km on foot, it is a stretch for small children, and anyone wanting a live guide to question should book a guided walk instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a good way to tour Kreuzberg on your own?
Yes. The app leads you through 12 stops in Kreuzberg, including St. Thomas Church, Kunstraum Bethanien, SO36, the Landwehr Canal at Paul-Lincke-Ufer, Admiralbrücke, the Fichtebunker, Marheineke Markthalle and Mehringdamm. It tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. No guide is needed.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at St. Thomas Church and finishes at Viktoriapark and Cascades, so it does not end where it began. The route covers about 4.9 km on foot through Kreuzberg, passing the canal, the Fichtebunker, Kirche am Südstern and Marheineke Markthalle on the way.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take close to three hours, walking and puzzles included. You can pause at any point, stop for a coffee or a look around the market hall, and continue later from where you left off. It is best played during the day.
Is it suitable for kids, and can we play as a group?
It is recommended for families, and school-age children who enjoy mysteries and can manage around 5 km of walking tend to do best. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route, so families or friends can solve the clues side by side.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. There is no group to join and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever you like at St. Thomas Church. Daylight hours are the best time to play, since the clues are found in the streets, parks and along the canal.
What is the Kreuzberg Secret Society story?
A student receives a mysterious note on their first morning in Berlin. You follow the fictional investigation through Kreuzberg, from St. Thomas Church toward Viktoriapark.
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.
