True
Crime

Documented criminal cases, told exactly where they happened. Investigation files, newspaper archives, court transcripts – no invented ghost stories. You stand in front of the building and hear what is on record. That sticks differently than a podcast on the sofa.

  • Sources documented per tour
  • Narrators from radio drama production
  • 10 stops · approx. 2 hours · 4–6 km

1 tour

Espionage

Agent missions with Caesar ciphers, Morse, Polybius squares and dead drops. An escape room, but in the open air: you decrypt while you walk. One wrong code and your contact never shows.

Düsseldorf

3 tours

Mystery

Archive-backed hauntings and city legends, told by a retired city archivist. He names sources, dates and contradictions – and says openly what cannot be settled. Goosebumps without being talked down to.

The difference from a podcast

Every tour has tasks you can only solve on location: ciphers, combination locks, observation puzzles. Try them here — this is exactly how they work in the app.

Tool 01

Caesar cipher

Intercepted message at the dead drop. Turn the ring until a word appears. This exact task is in “Operation Rheingold”.

Code entry

Enter the decrypted code word. The app confirms your answer, then you move on to the next waypoint.

Tool 03

Sample puzzle

The witness gives three times: 21:40, 22:05, 22:50. The caretaker says the stairwell light was on for 12 minutes. Which statement contradicts the record?

You don't have to go outside

No time, bad weather, no energy? Every tour also runs as a pure audio story: chapters instead of waypoints, auto-advance instead of GPS. Same case, nothing missed. Sleep timer included, in case it would otherwise keep you up.

  • Auto-advance between chapters
  • Sleep timer: 15 · 30 · 45 minutes
  • Puzzles optional – the story keeps running
