"The Physicist - Light and shadow" - The Story

1895 in Würzburg: Physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen makes a groundbreaking invention in his laboratory! He calls it “X-rays”. With the help of an electron tube and a fluorescent screen, he succeeds in taking a picture of the inside of his wife's hand. Shortly afterwards, his invention becomes a blessing for the sick. And not only that: People find all kinds of bizarre applications. But soon afterwards, something strange happens: Some researchers develop mysterious diseases! Will you be able to solve the mystery of the X-Rays?

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 of the old town between the Residenz, Mainbrücke and Röntgenring. The game ends near the Residenz. 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.
