Alter Markt Kiel: walk and solve

The Kiel Syndicate (outdoor escape game) takes you from Alter Markt past Nikolaikirche and Holstenbrücke to Kleiner Kiel, in that walking order. The square gives your team a place to begin following the pursuit of Magnus and stolen formulas. Look around before moving on, letting the real surroundings be part of the outing alongside the game’s fictional events. The mission plays out outdoors in the streets. Discuss each prompt with your companions before choosing a response, so the pursuit becomes something you follow as a group. Everyone can offer an interpretation while the changing locations give your shared adventure a route through the city on foot.

Secrets of Kiel follows Max Planck in a self-guided exploration game past the harbour and historic centre. Its route includes City Hall Tower, Kiel Harbor, St. Nikolai Church and Warleberhof in that sequence. Choose this discovery story if it interests your companions more than the outdoor pursuit in the Syndicate. Agree on what everyone wants from the outing before selecting a game, then concentrate on one shared adventure. Real places give the walk variety, while the story supplies clues and decisions to consider. Each player can contribute an observation or question a first answer, making the next response a discussion rather than a choice left to whoever carries the team’s phone.

Both games cost €19.95 per team and take around 1.5 to 2 hours. Secrets allows up to four players sharing one phone and runs in your own phone browser without an app. The Syndicate allows up to five players on one phone and uses the free Loquiz app. Flexible daily starts and 12 months of validity let you choose a suitable occasion. Leave room for the route and the shared decisions in your plans. During play, read prompts aloud or show the screen so everyone can follow the current challenge. Comparing ideas keeps all companions involved, with the phone connecting the game and your group deciding together how to continue.
