Frequently asked questions
Where does the Saalfelden scavenger hunt start and finish?
It starts at the Congress Center and finishes at Lake Ritzen, so it does not end where it began. In between you pass the Clock Tower Passage, Middle School, Church, Memorial Plates, Cemetery, Caritas Saalfelden, Brücklwirtshaus, Old Tannery and Schloss Ritzen.
How long does the quest take and how far is the walk?
Most players take around 100 minutes, which includes walking between the eleven stops and solving the puzzles along the way. The route covers about 2.5 km through town, ending at Lake Ritzen, so it fits easily into a half day between mountain outings.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is tagged as family friendly and built around a local legend about a weather stone, told through audio stories with riddles at each place. It suits school-age children who enjoy solving clues and can walk about 2.5 km over roughly 100 minutes.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together on a phone. There is no set start time and no group to join, so you can begin at the Congress Center whenever suits you, with no guide to wait for.
Can we pause, and when is the best time to go?
You can pause the quest and continue later, for example for a break along the way. The route is outdoors and open 24/7, but it is better during daylight hours, when the clues in front of you at each stop are easier to see.
What is the secret of the weather stone?
It is a fictional mystery set in Saalfelden and Pinzgau. The route uses the local setting for outdoor clues and a story-led puzzle game.
Is this experience self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you from clue to clue without a guide or fixed start time, so 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.
