About this tour

A mysterious assignment takes you right into the heart of Mainz. Felix Hartmann needs your help: a priceless proof page from Johannes Gutenberg's workshop has been stolen. The police are in the dark, while the list of suspects is long. Is it the ambitious historian, the dodgy antiques dealer or even the disinherited cousin?

In this interactive outdoor escape game, you become the investigator. Your search will take you from the glowing Chagall windows to the bustling carnival fountain and the winding alleyways of Kirschgarten. You have to decipher cryptic messages, interpret guild signs and follow the traces of the past to secure the stolen goods. Experience a gripping mixture of crime thriller, city tour and puzzle fun. Can you solve the mystery of Gutenberg's last page before it disappears from Mainz forever?

The story behind the tour

In 15th-century Mainz, daily life was shaped by trade, craft, and ecclesiastical power. As a Free City, Mainz enjoyed extensive rights of self-governance; within the city council, patricians and craft guilds vied for influence. At the time Gutenberg was developing European printing with movable metal type around 1450, books were precious commodities, frequently copied out by hand. His workshop required capital, paper, and specialised artisans. Simultaneously, political conflicts threatened the city’s autonomy: in 1462, Archbishop Adolf of Nassau conquered Mainz, stripped the city of its freedoms, and forced many of its citizens into exile.
