02 / Just join in

Curiosity is all it takes.

No need to dress up or act. Listen, piece things together and decide as a group.

03 / Keep celebrating

Investigate first. Then raise a toast.

After the resolution, your birthday carries on. Plan a dinner or a drink in the city centre afterwards.

One place is on us

How to keep it secret

  • Book with your own email address – the booking confirmation goes to you, not to the birthday person.
  • Only reveal the time and the meeting point: Main entrance of the Peterskirche, 1010 Vienna.
  • A tip on what to wear is enough – the game runs in almost any weather.
  • Book a table nearby for afterwards: the mission ends in the city centre.
Plan the surprise

“An absolute highlight - pure suspense! We did a crime escape adventure here and are completely thrilled!”

Dominik Esterer · Google review · translated from German

The mission is complete. The evening isn’t.

Something to talk about
until the last drink.

Who spotted the clue first? Who should you never have trusted? Go over the mission together over dinner afterwards.

The mission ends in the city centre, the restaurant is not far. You organise food and drinks yourselves – allow 60–90 minutes for the mission and a little time to get there.
