What is an outdoor escape game?
It combines the puzzle tension of an escape room with the freedom of being outdoors. Instead of being locked in a room, you solve the riddles at real places in Freiburg — a story on your smartphone guides you from station to station.
Similar, but without a guide and without a fixed date: the story leads the way. You start whenever you like, set your own pace, and take a break wherever you want.
A bit of both. You move from station to station as on a scavenger hunt, but every station is a handcrafted riddle embedded in a story — a puzzle trail through the city rather than a list of tasks.
Right in the city centre of Freiburg, not out of town. The starting point is Freiburg Minster. No travel, no check-in on site — you start exactly where the story begins.
Yes, at any size. You pay per person, and the bigger the group, the cheaper it gets for everyone. When booking you decide how to split up: all together in one team, competing in several teams, or several teams starting at different times. Each team gets its own code and everyone puzzles along on their own phone. The split makes no difference to the price. No app needed, everything runs in the browser.

More about outdoor escape games in Freiburg
Around Münsterplatz, historic façades, cobbled streets and the towering cathedral characterise the scene in Freiburg’s old town. On many mornings, the market brings a bustle of activity; later on, things quieten down, allowing you to take in the details of the houses, fountains and narrow alleyways more fully.
An outdoor escape game in Freiburg fits particularly well into this compact city centre: there are plenty of sights to see all within easy reach, whilst the famous ‘Bächle’ water channels accompany you along the way. In the Gerberau district, around Café Krokodil, the old town reveals a different side to itself. Waterways, small shops, cafés and winding streets create a relaxed atmosphere that’s a world away from the main shopping streets. The scavenger hunt through Freiburg takes you into a neighbourhood that’s not just a backdrop, but one that invites you to take a closer look.
In spring and summer, the alleyways feel particularly lively, and on warm days, seeing people with their feet in the Bächle is almost part of the cityscape. In the early evening, a softer light falls on the façades and canals, whilst the area becomes more tranquil after the shops close. In winter, shorter days, crisp air and the illuminated old town create a more peaceful atmosphere.
