The Lost in Time series from MMHistory includes two historical adventures in Stuttgart. “The Wilhelm Case” is the ideal introduction for families and beginners. “Der Autumn Max” is aimed at experienced puzzle fans with significantly more challenging puzzles.
No sets and no ordinary city tour. MMHistory combines an escape room, a city scavenger hunt, and a city tour into a historical puzzle adventure with real events, fictional characters, and original locations from Stuttgart's history.
Your experience starts at the Jubilee Column on the Palace Square, where you will be personally greeted by historian Michael Mezger. After a short introduction, you will receive your puzzle book with all the clues. You will then play independently in your own group. If you get stuck, you can reach Michael during the game via WhatsApp or phone. With the puzzle book, you venture out into the city's streets, alleys, and squares to solve exciting tasks. Each stop takes you to historical places, connects the present and the past, and lets you rediscover Stuttgart.
History comes to life as you make your way around. You will discover surprising stories and facts about Württemberg and Stuttgart that are often overlooked. You will follow various clues, decipher hints, and solve tricky riddles. You will find some clues in the puzzle book, while others you will discover directly on buildings, in squares and in small details around the city. There is no time pressure. You can explore Stuttgart at your own pace and enjoy the adventure together outdoors in the middle of the city.
The games are suitable for teenagers and adults who enjoy solving puzzles together. They are particularly popular with families, groups of friends, companies and school classes. In both adventures, you will stay together as a group. “The Wilhelm Case” can be played with 3 to 40 people and “The Max Case” with 3 to 12 people. For large groups, we divide you into teams so that you can experience the same adventure in parallel and everyone can fully immerse themselves in the fun of the puzzles.
The route leads through Stuttgart's city centre and takes you to well-known landmarks as well as to little insider tips that even surprise locals. The paths are mostly wheelchair and stroller accessible; individual steps can be bypassed. Please bring flat shoes and weather appropriate clothing. A smartphone is helpful for “The Wilhelm Case,” but not required. For “The Case of Max,” you need a charged smartphone with a mobile internet connection. You will receive the puzzle book and all other game materials on site.
At the end, you will return to Schlossplatz, where you will meet Michael again. Together, you will discuss the solved riddles, share your impressions, and have the opportunity to ask questions about Stuttgart's history. This personal conclusion rounds off the experience and will be remembered for a long time.
