You will first be introduced to the story of the Brothers Grimm: 1819 in Kassel: The brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm lead a modest, striving life. As linguists and literary scholars, they are not only very well-read. They also diligently write books and stories and have started work on the so-called "German Dictionary". But success did not really come their way. The book "Volksmärchen der Deutschen" (German folk tales) turned out to be a flop. The publisher destroyed 350 unsold copies. Slowly, gloom spreads. As good friends of the family, it's up to you to encourage them and collect promising ideas!

Work in a team (2-6 people per group) to solve the case. You are more than 6 people? Then we recommend splitting up into several small groups, because otherwise experience shows that not everyone is well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!

Riddle your way from station to station along this story with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at the most beautiful sights of Kassel and at important points and get more informations about the Brothers Grimm and their story. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. They are therefore not listed here. You have to look for clues at the stations to solve the puzzles. In this game, the focus is on the story and the puzzles, not on details about the historical history of the sights and the city.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The duration is about 2 to 3 hours time. The end is in the Old Town of Kassel near the Neue Galerie.
