Escape the Great Plague is the most reviewed route in Vienna and the safe first choice. It is a medieval mystery from Ruprechtsplatz of 52 minutes over 2.6 km, short enough for a lunch break, and its case gives a competitive team something to crack. It plays in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, so an international team is covered too. For a longer afternoon, Espionage in Vienna: The Secret Order starts at the Rathaus and covers 5.2 km in 126 minutes. Saving the Empress takes 62 minutes over 3.6 km from Schloss Schönbrunn.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 2,594 ratings on the routes in Vienna.
It was quite good actually. I enjoyed it. Missed a few interesting spots but overall enjoyable.
At the third stop by Kleines Cafe the question is a bit a confusing. I think a very short instruction would be helpful e.g. “Look around the square!”
Die erste Frage mit dem Südturm - die 136,4 sind korrekt und das man m am Schluss eingeben muss soll einem mal wer sagen!
Quite fun, last.riddle was not really solvable
other: amazing itinerary inside the gardens ,perfect for a self guider walking tour and very smart riddles !
vibe: Fantastic walk around to beautiful places .
6 phones is the smallest team booking, and you pay per phone, not per person. The first five phones cost the same as the route's 5-phone pass, and each phone after that costs half the single price, so the price per phone drops as the team grows. The booking box on this page shows the total in your currency.
6 to 40 phones fit in one payment, and a team of 3 or 4 can share one phone, so a group larger than 40 people can still play. Everyone on their own phone works best. For more than 40 phones, or several routes at once, send the quote form and a person from our team replies by email.
In the app: everyone joins in the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there. Teams play the same route in Vienna against each other and see the leaderboard at the end. A team can share one phone, but everyone on their own phone is recommended, so nobody watches over a shoulder.
A phone with the free Questo app, on iOS or Android, is all a player needs. After you book, everyone joins the game in the app, and the teams are chosen there. There is nothing to print and no venue to book: meet at the route's start point in Vienna with charged phones.
There are no fixed start times: teams start when they are ready, on the day you choose. Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not simply follow each other, and they still finish at the same place in Vienna to see the leaderboard together. You set the pace and can pause.
Each route in Vienna has its own languages, listed on its quest page, so check them before you book. When your team speaks more than one language, choose a route that offers the ones you need. For anything the page does not answer, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Play another day: access never expires, so if it rains on the day, the booking is not lost. Nothing needs to be rebooked or moved; the team simply starts the game when the weather suits you. You set the pace and can pause, so a short shower is no reason to stop.
Buy the extra phones in one more payment if you need more later. The date is up to you, since access never expires and teams start when they are ready. For more than 40 phones in total, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Yes, one invoice for the whole booking: after you pay by card, request it from the order page with your company name and VAT ID. You pay once for 6 to 40 phones, so there is one order and one invoice. To pay by bank transfer instead, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
There is no time limit: you set the pace and can pause the game whenever you need to. Routes in Vienna are walked outdoors, and each route page shows its length, so you can choose one that suits the whole team. For specific needs, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
40 phones is the most one online payment covers, and a team of 3 or 4 can share a phone. For more than 40 phones, several routes at once in Vienna or paying by bank transfer, send the quote form on this page: a person from our team replies by email.
