"The banker - Beginning of a dynasty" - The Story

1807 in Frankfurt: The banker Mayer Amschel Rothschild is a hard-working businessman. Not only does he provide entrepreneurs with money - he even carries out financial transactions for the high princes with his family business with the help of his five sons! But Elector Wilhelm I refused to allow Mayer Amschel's son Nathan Mayer to carry out his transactions. What a shame! Now Mayer Amschel must try to get the contract himself. Will you be able to help him?

You do not need to download an extra app. You have 1 year starting with your purchase time to play the game.

While solving the puzzles, you move at walking pace in the area between Opernplatz, Jewish cemetery, Hauptwache and Main. The game ends near the Old Opera (Alte Oper). You will find clues for solving the riddles at well-known sights, information boards, etc.

Game start and duration:


You can start the scavenger hunt at any time. You can also, for example, book access now and start the scavenger hunt with your team at a later date. In total the game takes about 2 to 3 hours. There is no time limit, but it is possible to measure the time using the integrated stopwatch. You can also take a break in between and continue playing afterwards.

What you need:


You need a smartphone with internet connection. A second cell phone for navigation is helpful, so you don't have to switch tabs between puzzles and navigation. If you play in the dark, it's best to take a really good flashlight with you.
