The “The Merchant's Coin” puzzle tour is not an ordinary city tour, but an experience that transforms Regensburg's historic backdrop into a lively playing field.
What makes the tour so special is the unique combination of culture, history, and play: Instead of passively listening, the participants themselves become explorers who embark on a fascinating journey through the centuries of Regensburg.
The focus is on the path of a mysterious merchant who left behind an unembossed coin full of possibilities. Equipped with a specially prepared investigative puzzle backpack full of locked compartments, historically designed puzzle cards, and helpful clues, each stop becomes an interactive challenge.
Each solved puzzle unlocks a lock, opens a compartment in the backpack, and provides a new engraving for the coin. This way, you piece the coin together bit by bit until, at the end, the complete symbol of your journey through Regensburg's history lies before you.
Another special feature is that the tour works analogously – without a tablet or mobile app. Participants work with tactile materials, real locks, and high-quality puzzle cards.
This creates an immediate, authentic experience that challenges the mind, hands, and team spirit in equal measure. A smartphone with mobile data per group is only necessary for scanning QR codes to better locate the stations and for a fun photo mission.
The route covers some of the most important landmarks of Regensburg. In the process, you'll not only get to know the architecture, but also exciting stories, secrets, and anecdotes that often remain hidden in the normal cityscape.
Whether as a company party, team event, family outing or cultural highlight for tourists – the puzzle tour offers a varied mix of excitement, puzzles, history and shared experiences. It is uniquely tailored to Regensburg and can only be played here, making it a one-of-a-kind experience that will be remembered for a long time.
