The experience

About this quest

Step back in time to the heart of medieval Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage City, where society was defined by three essential roles: Laboratores (those who work), Oratores (those who pray), and Bellatores (those who fight). 

Inspired by Ælfric of Eynsham’s writings, this walking tour takes you through Regensburg’s historic streets, rich with medieval architecture and atmosphere.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

History-minded couples, independent travellers and adults curious about how medieval society really worked will spend about two hours in Regensburg's UNESCO old town, tracing clergy, workers and knights from St. Peter Cathedral past Goliath House and St. Emmeram to the Bruckmandl. It is free to play. If you would rather question a live guide about the Middle Ages or cannot comfortably walk 2.9 km, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions

Which medieval places in Regensburg does this walk visit?
In walking order: St. Peter Cathedral, Goliath House, Baumberger Tower, Neupfarrplatz 6, St. Emmeram, St. Ägid, St. Jacob, Haid, Old Town Hall, Fischmarkt and the Bruckmandl. Each stop ties into the medieval idea of three roles in society: those who pray, those who work and those who fight.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at St. Peter Cathedral and finishes at the Bruckmandl, so it does not end where it began. The route covers 2.9 km through the historic streets of the old town, with eleven stops along the way.
How long does it take?
Most players take about two hours, including the walking and solving the puzzles at each stop. You can pause at any point and continue later, so there is no need to finish it in one go.
Do we need to book a time or join a group?
No. You play it on your phone and can start whenever you like. There is no group to join and no guide to meet; the app leads you from place to place, tells the story of each one and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you.
Can we play it together as a couple or group of friends?
Yes. It is free to play, so a couple or a group of friends can simply start together and walk the route at their own pace, working out the puzzles at each stop between St. Peter Cathedral and the Bruckmandl.
