MISSION RUDOLF - the puzzle trail for cultural detectives
Inspector Janz and his team are out of their depth. A man calling himself Rudolf claims to have hidden a mysterious instrument. This would emit a sound at the right time that would freeze everyone in the city unless it was deactivated in time. Rudolf has hidden parts of the password in various places around the city, which must be found. However, the puzzles at the locations can only be solved by moving. It's all very strange and almost impossible for the police to solve!
A trail through Zug's old town with tricky movement puzzles, an adventurous story and lots of dancing.
