The Last Verse of the Hymn

About this route

At Akershus Fortress, there is an old tale about Count Christian Rantzau, a commander who died under mysterious circumstances. He was known for his religious faith and his ability to lead with an iron fist. After his death, it is said that his hymn singing can still be heard from the fortress tower on quiet nights. But what if the song isn't just a singing ghost? What if it hides a secret? An old book found in the fortress's archives suggests that Rantzau left something more behind: A coded message in the hymn he constantly sings. Rumor has it that the message leads to a hidden truth he never had the chance to reveal. You must now collect 12 letters, one for each task you solve. Together, these letters will form a secret password that will show you the way to the 13th and final secret location. Now it is your task to solve the mystery before time runs out – and before his song goes silent forever. (The story in this game may contain elements that are fictional, altered, or relocated).
