Things to do in Kiel: walk and solve

Secrets of Kiel joins Max Planck in a self-guided exploration game with cryptic clues past the harbour and historic centre. Along the route you see City Hall Tower, Kiel Harbor, St. Nikolai Church and Warleberhof (Stadtmuseum). You play in your phone’s browser without an app. Among things to do in Kiel, this gives the walk a clue-led story with a different theme from a stolen-formulas chase. Share the information with everyone and look around as you go, connecting the activity to the surroundings rather than keeping all attention only on the screen throughout the outing. Your group can follow the story together while exploring the places along the route on foot.

The Kiel Syndicate (outdoor escape game) follows Magnus from Alter Markt past Nikolaikirche down towards Bootshafen. Holstenbrücke and Kleiner Kiel also feature along the route. You play with the free Loquiz app, sharing one phone between at most five players. Friends, colleagues or a couple can follow the story together and discuss the information as they walk. Give everyone time to understand the activity rather than leaving it only to the phone holder. You guide yourselves and choose the pace, keeping the game a shared conversation throughout the outing. The city supplies the surroundings as your group follows Magnus’s trail and explores the route together on foot.

Both Kiel games take around 1.5 to 2 hours, can start whenever you want every day, and remain valid for 12 months. Choose the Max Planck exploration or the chase by the story and team size that fit your group. Prepare the shared phone for browser play or the free Loquiz app. If you are planning things to do in Kiel around other activities, give the complete walk room in your day. Your team can agree when to begin and follow the selected game together, keeping the flexible start and the walking pace in its own hands while the story gives the outing a common focus as you explore the city on foot.
