MyCityHighlight detective trails is a puzzle adventure with a badger detective. Participants accompany him on his puzzle tour and learn many interesting and surprising things about the area in question – in our case downtown Vienna.

And this is how it works: after purchasing the desired ticket on the Detektiv-Trails website, you can print the treasure map (or download the app). We decided on – very old school – for the hard copy, which consists of an explanation of the game including basic data about the route, directions, riddles and a map.

using a treasure map We were guided through Vienna city center (about 4 km away) and had to solve several puzzles at the respective sites. You will learn interesting facts about the places, statues and buildings that are part of the detective path.

Once all the questions are answered, the solution code must be calculated from them at the end of the treasure hunt. By showing the code, you get a little surprise at the Mozarthaus Vienna (applies to the detective track in the city center).

Conclusion: detective trails certainly add variety to Vienna outings. Fans of puzzles small and big get their money’s worth, and the questions aren’t too difficult. Therefore, puzzle tours are also very suitable for families with children or for birthday parties and school trips.
