You will first be introduced to the story of Carl Benz: 1888 in Mannheim: inventor Carl Benz is very worried! He just can't get the new motorised carriage he has designed to run reliably and people are prepared to spend money on it. They don't recognise any advantage over the horse-drawn carriage. Carl's family is on the verge of ruin! But the car only runs for short distances and often has to be pushed home to the scorn and derision of his fellow citizens. Will you be able to help him turn the motorised carriage into a sensation?

Work in a team (2-6 people per group) to solve the case. You are more than 6 people? Then we recommend splitting up into several small groups, because otherwise experience shows that not everyone is well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!

Riddle your way from station to station along this story with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights of Mannheim and at important points. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. They are therefore not listed here. You have to look for clues at the stations to solve the puzzles. In this game, the focus is on the story and the puzzles, not on details about the historical history of the sights and the city.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The duration is about 2 to 3 hours time. The end is in the Old Town of Mannheim in front of the Carl Benz Memorial.
