Berlin Greatest Escapes Exploration Game

About this experience

Berlin Greatest Escapes Exploration Game is a self-guided city game in Berlin, played through the Questo app, in which participants take on the role of an East Berliner attempting to reunite with his brother in West Berlin. The route runs from Leipziger Platz to the Brandenburg Gate, passing through a stretch of the city that was once divided by the Berlin Wall, a barrier that stood from 1961 until its fall in 1989. The game draws on that history to frame a series of puzzle-based challenges tied to real locations along the way. Players follow clues on their phone, solving challenges that advance a narrative built around one of the most charged periods in Berlin's modern history. The game takes roughly two hours to complete, though it can be paused and resumed at any point, making it suitable for those who want to stop at cafes or landmarks along the route. Tickets cover access to the game within the Questo app and include 24/7 customer support. No tour guide is provided, and the route is not wheelchair accessible. The game is available to book as a standalone activity with no fixed departure time.

Before you go

Starting out and timing The game begins at Leipziger Platz, so make your way there before you launch the experience on the Questo app. The route takes a couple of hours to complete and finishes at the Brandenburg Gate, though you can pause at any point and pick up where you left off, so there is no pressure to complete it in one go. During your visit Keep your phone charged before you set out, as the game runs entirely through the Questo app. You will be moving through public streets and open spaces, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
