Mission briefing

About this route

The year is 1566, and ruthless French pirates have just landed on the coast of Madeira to plunder Funchal! To protect the city's most precious treasure, the Governor hid it in a highly secure fortress before disappearing. He left behind a coded trail of 12 riddles scattered through the city streets. You are a team of modern-day treasure hunters who have discovered the Governor's diary. But beware – the pirates are on your tail! At each of the 12 locations, you must read a piece of local history and observe your surroundings to answer a question. If you answer correctly, you earn one letter of the secret 12-letter password. Guess wrong, and you get nothing. Gather the letters, crack the code, and find the secret exit before the pirates catch you!

Platform 7

An encrypted radio transmission has been intercepted in Stavanger. The message is short. Only four words. "Platform 7 is active." The problem is that Platform 7 never existed. At least not officially. The archives say the project was shut down almost fifty years ago, and every trace was erased. Still, the signal keeps coming back. Now it is up to you to follow the trail through Stavanger, find the hidden codes and uncover the truth before the system finishes what was started in 1978.

The Emperor's Secret

The city is in flames. As the townspeople flee through the streets, relief ships from Germany arrive almost immediately — sent by Emperor Wilhelm II. Officially he came to help, but more than 100 years later a discovery is made in an old Jugend building (Ålesund's Art Nouveau style): a hidden suitcase filled with letters, symbols and notes from a historian who vanished without a trace. In the notes, one sentence is written again and again: “The Emperor did not come to save the city.” Now you must follow the trail through Ålesund and find the truth that has been hidden since the night the city burned. The story is partly fictional in order to create a narrative thread.
