Discover Cologne in a new way
As the mystery unfolds, the app guides teams through streets and squares past Cologne landmarks.

Additional highlights along the route can include Great St. Martin Church, St. Gereon's Basilica, the Romano-Germanic Museum, the historic 4711 site and the Roonstrasse Synagogue, turning the investigation into a cultural tour as well.
