About this quest

The year is 1889 and your name is Mathilde Schleicher — a rising star of the Vienna Opera with a rival who wants to destroy you and a mysterious ally signing their letters simply as freund.

This self-guided walking tour of Vienna takes you through the Innere Stadt, past St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Vienna State Opera, Café Frauenhuber, and the former homes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Sigmund Freud.

Solve coded puzzles, decode ciphered messages, and follow a theatrical story of rivalry, obsession, and secrets through one of Europe's most storied cities. The perfect blend of outdoor escape game, self-guided city walk, and historical discovery.

All you need is your phone. Vienna's music scene is waiting to reveal its darkest secrets.

Highlights

    - Follow Mathilde Schleicher through 1889 Vienna, chasing mysterious letters and a rival soprano who will stop at nothing to destroy you - Discover the hidden wartime resistance message carved into St. Stephen's Cathedral and uncover the dark history behind Vienna's most macabre address - Visit the oldest coffee house in Vienna, where Mozart and Beethoven both performed, and stand before the gates of the Vienna State Opera - Decode ciphered clues, follow phantom piano music through backstreets, and unravel the truth about the letter signed 'freund'

The mission: Your story in Vienna

You are Mathilde Schleicher, a rising star of Vienna's music scene.


The year is 1889 and you are on your way to becoming lead singer of the Vienna Opera, but your rival Bianca Bianchi is plotting against you.

She feels threatened and will stop at nothing to protect her position, but you are not alone.


Just yesterday, a letter was brought to you by a dove, warning you of Bianca's plans and holding a mysterious clue.

It was signed simply "freund" (German for "friend").

You will not go down without a fight. You decide to play.
