Cologne Time Travel Detective Audio Game with Real Cases

Five cases lie open in Cologne, some of them for centuries. This self-guided audio adventure turns your phone into a case file and the old town into your crime scene. From each case you get the beginning and the end. The middle is missing, and you get it yourself, on the spot where it happened: reading facade and comparing it to the historical pictures, questioning witnesses of stone and bronze, and delivering your own verdict. You walk at your own pace from the cathedral to the old city hall while a narrator tells you the stories no plaque will. Every closed case leaves a find that fits no file. All five together open a sixth, older than the rest: the seven-hundred-year-old secret of how this city really got its name. You play in your phone's browser, no app to install, narration in English or German, one phone is enough for a small group. Start whenever you like, pause wherever you like.
