Geocaching Adventure
Discover the fascinating landscape and history of Bad Reichenhall through an interactive treasure hunt game. Solve puzzles, explore the city and open the safe with the secret code!
How does the game work?
The Safe
In the apartment there is a safe with a combination lock containing prizes.
Solve the puzzles
Go on a hike in Bad Reichenhall and solve puzzles that can only be answered at the specified location.
5 Routes
The tasks are divided into 5 routes. These can be completed in any order and on different days or even during different stays.
Note down your solutions
Use this website to save your solutions and check them or write them down on a piece of paper.
Calculate the code
Add up the answers to all the questions to calculate the final code for the safe.
Get your prize
Open the safe in the apartment, collect your prize and write about your adventure in the logbook. Lock the safe again for the next explorer.
Navigation on the hike
You have three options for navigating on the hike:
Komoot App
The free Komoot app (Android and iOS) is the best option for navigation. You can install the app, create a free account and open each route directly via the stored link. Please use this website in parallel (or on a second device) to find the puzzles. Via the "Find it" button you can see the distance to the next puzzle station.
This website
If you don't want to use Komoot, you can use the integrated Google Maps map. For each route you will find a "Puzzle Map" that shows both the path and your current position.
Paper and pen
All routes are available printed in the apartment with map and puzzles. You navigate with it analogously and note your solutions directly on the printout. This is a nice variant especially for children. The only disadvantage: On site you cannot check if your solutions are correct - so it's best to use this page additionally for input.
