Gut beschriebenes Krimispiel durch das beschauliche Plön. Ein paar gemeinsame Stunden Rätselspaß und gleichzeitig einen Ort von ganz neuen Seiten kennenzulernen. Hat mega Spaß gemacht! (Translated by Google) A well-written murder mystery game set in the tranquil town of Plön. A few hours of fun solving puzzles while discovering a place from a completely new perspective. It was great fun!

Wir machten die Schnitzeljagd in Villach. War lustig aber auch interessant, weil wir an zu manchen Plätzen noch nicht waren. Manfred Rätsel waren gar nicht so einfach und trotzdem lösbar. In Summe Absolut zum empfehlen. Hinweis: man sollte einen vollen Akku zum Beginn des Spielers haben. (Translated by Google) We did the scavenger hunt in Villach. It was fun and interesting because we hadn't been to some of the places before. Manfred's riddles weren't easy at all, but still solvable. Overall, highly recommended. Note: You should have a fully charged battery at the start of the game.
