Bludenz Crime Experience, self-guided crime tour

Experience an intriguing mystery set against the backdrop of Bludenz as you embark on a thrilling journey filled with captivating stories, mind-bending puzzles, and a suspenseful adventure. Embrace the role of an investigative genius and apprehend the elusive criminal mastermind!

Crime-Trails offers an engaging combination of outdoor adventure and puzzle-solving, combining elements of both an outdoor escape game and a classic scavenger hunt. Designed for players aged 12 and above, including families, friends, or partners in crime, participants embark on an immersive journey where they become amateur detectives investigating hypothetical crimes such as murder, robbery, or kidnapping. Armed with smartphones, a detailed case file, and an arrest warrant code, teams gather at the scene of the fictional crime to unravel mysteries and uncover evidence.

Upon purchasing the Crime-Trail package, users receive a voucher code granting them access to the case file and an arrest warrant generation tool upon completion of the game. Users can download the case file at their convenience and commence the game anytime after purchase. No additional registration is required beyond completing the transaction.

The case file includes an introduction and comprehensive instructions tailored to the mission ahead. For enhanced visibility during gameplay, printing the case file may prove beneficial.

To initiate the investigation, locate the "scene of crime" marker within the case file, then proceed to scan the QR code located there. This action initiates the game, allowing players to engage with the first inquiry and commence solving the initial mystery.

Throughout the Crime-Trail, players maintain constant contact with the headquarters via their smartphone. This communication enables them to share findings, progress, and solutions, receiving updates on new clues and subsequent puzzles based on their actions. Players are encouraged to explore every location listed on the map; failure to do so could lead to missing crucial pieces of the puzzle.

Players should feel free to seek hints from the headquarters if encountering obstacles or needing assistance. The absence of on-site guides ensures that the experience remains accessible even under current health guidelines, particularly those related to COVID-19.

Upon successfully resolving all riddles and identifying the perpetrator, players stand victorious either by apprehending the criminal or by realizing that certain details were overlooked. This concludes the investigative process, providing satisfaction in solving the crime or learning from the oversight.
