Overview

Older than Berlin and wrapped in the waters of the Havel, Brandenburg an der Havel is where the whole region got its name — and it turns its riverside old town into one big puzzle trail.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Brandenburg an der Havel on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Cross to the Dominsel, the cathedral island where the city — and the Mark Brandenburg — began
• Decode the details of the Altstädtisches Rathaus with its towering Roland statue
• Track down Villa Lehmann and its story of riverside industrial wealth

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.

By the end, this quiet river town will have shown you why historians call it the cradle of Brandenburg.

What to expect

"Starting at Katharinenkirchplatz 13, by St. Katharinen church, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off through the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

On the Dominsel, the cathedral island in the Havel, riddles lead you around the spot where a Slavic fortress became the seat of a bishopric in 948 — the founding act of the entire region.

At the Altstädtisches Rathaus, a late-Gothic brick beauty, you'll size up the 5-metre Roland statue standing guard outside — a medieval symbol of civic freedom, and the answer to more than one clue.

Villa Lehmann brings a different era: a grand industrialist's home from the days when the Havel powered mills and factories, with details worth a second look.

Most groups finish in around 2 hours, with breaks whenever you like. By the finish, Berlin's older neighbour will feel like your discovery."
