Highlights

This is a self-guided treasure hunt where you step into the shoes of Mainz's most famous son: you play Gutenberg himself, in the year 1430, with your family's name and the future of the written word riding on your choices. The story is woven from the city's real history, with patricians clashing against guilds and a relic lost to time, so every puzzle you solve teaches you something true about Mainz behind the fiction. There is no guide and no fixed schedule: you set the pace, pause for a coffee or a glass of local Riesling whenever you like, and resume whenever you want (even on another day). We offer 24/7 customer support and built-in hints to guarantee that you never stay stuck. It has easy difficulty and it's perfect for solo adventurers, couples, friends, families with older kids, or team-building events.

About Mainz

Mainz is a Rhine city and the home town of Gutenberg, with a thousand-year-old red sandstone cathedral, Chagall's blue windows and Rheinhessen wine.

Mainz stands on the west bank of the Rhine where the Main river joins it, the capital of Rhineland-Palatinate. St Martin's Cathedral, begun around 975, rises in red sandstone above the old town's market square. Johannes Gutenberg was born here, and the Gutenberg Museum displays original Bibles from his press, which launched printing with movable type in Europe around 1450.
