Group scavenger hunts and puzzle-solving are popular activities nowadays. When you set out together with a partner, friends or children in search of hidden secrets, solving tricky questions and hunting for clues, it’s simply more fun than you ever imagined. A very special tour like this awaits adventure-hungry explorers this springtime here in Upper Bavaria’s Waging am See.
The starting point is provided by a fictional, though very dramatic love story dating back to the year 1919, with participants searching for the heart of Marie by unlocking an array of different puzzles. In the truest sense of the word. More than just a handful of wondrous, and in some cases richly ornamented treasure chests along the way are just waiting for participants to unlock by entering the correct combination of numbers and letters. Only with these is it possible to snap open the big locks and find new clues inside. Our intrepid puzzle solvers will also be sent on their way with a rucksack to help them collect their riches.
Just remember, it’s not always about being the cleverest. Sometimes, team spirit, a fine touch and good powers of observation are what it takes. On occasion, when the box is opened, you won’t quite know what to make of the contents at first. But here, too: the solution often lies in the little details.
Obstinate strings of objects, screws, pocket lamps, hidden wooden boxes with secret locks as well as photos with odd number combinations are guaranteed to make your gray cells glow as you try to figure out the clues they conceal. Kids, especially, have enormous fun stubbornly solving the puzzles, often coming up with the solutions before the grown-ups.
Our intrepid adventurers spend 2 to 3 hours making their way through town and the surrounding area, also enjoying the picturesque scenery along the way. Quite incidentally, this is also an entertaining way to get to know many historic locations where wonderful things happened, or that remind us of the horrors of the plague. The surprising conclusion at the end is more than ample reward for all of the effort that went into solving those puzzles.
