What happens if it rains?

If it rains please contact us: You can decide to do it anyway – you’re not made of sugar, right? :) – or you can move the booking to the next rain free slot. If it rains heavily, we unfortunately have to cancel the mission, otherwise the documents could get damaged.

What if we get stuck/need help or a hint during our mission?

Each challenge during your mission can be completed independently; i.e.: you can complete challenge 4 without completing challenge 3 (or 2 or 1). So don’t worry if you get stuck on one challenge – just move on, and try to solve the case with all the other clues you find.

Depending on your crime solving skills you will finish one mission in 1 – 2 hours.

How many different missions are there?

Currently we offer one mission through the most famous part of the inner city. Soon there will be more.

Are all missions the same except the location?

No, of course not! On each mission you have to solve a different case and also get to know a different part of the city. You should definitely try all of them.

What should we wear/bring?

In general you can wear whatever you want – the tour doesn’t need any special gear. Nevertheless we recommend to wear comfortable shoes, as you will be walking through the city for the duration of the tour.

Who is your target group?

Our missions are designed for both, tourists and locals and fit almost every occasion: just for fun, to get to know the city, your first date, your birthday or your best friend’s bachelor/bachelorette party – you will always have a great experience with Vienna Mysteries. Recommend for the age of 16 and older.

Do we have to prepare for the mission?

No, preparation is not necessary. You just meet with one of our Vienna Mysteries staff members at the beginning and will be provided with all the information and material you need.

Where is the meeting point for the missions?

Each mission has a different meeting point, which we will inform you of in your booking confirmation email. Therefore be sure to sign up with the correct email address. The mission always starts and ends at the same spot.

I am pregnant - is that a problem?

No not at all. There is no physical strain necessary.

How doed the game work if two teams play against each other?

Starting at 7 players you have to split your goup in 2 teams competing against each other. Both teams start at the same time but in opposite directions. The faster team with the right solution wins.
