Mister X Sightseeing Tour

Mobile phone hunting for young and old

Become part of a live crime thriller in Hamburg city centre! In the Mister X mobile phone hunt, you are not chasing a fictional adversary, but a real person: a city guide who is fleeing through the city as Mister X – and you are tracking him down in the style of the cult game Scotland Yard.

Where is Mister X? Players can look forward to an exciting two-hour tour against a real person in Hamburg city centre. Since 1998, this format has offered a unique sightseeing experience in HVV zone 000 – right in the heart of the Hanseatic city.

Read clues, find hints and locate Mister X

Mister X reports in at short intervals with cryptic clues and location details. You and your team coordinate via mobile phone, observe his route via a live tracker, combine clues cleverly and try to get closer to him. He uses various means of transport, travels on foot and mingles with passers-by – sometimes he is only metres away and yet remains unrecognised. Clues on digital displays, assistance from bystanders, puzzling photos or mysterious observations – this tour blurs the line between city tour and detective game.

Along the way, you will also receive interesting information about Hamburg's sights, such as the Elbphilharmonie – always with a wink. Is Mister X perhaps at a building that was constructed between 1922 and 1924 and looks like a ship? Or is he currently in a 47-hectare rampart? Participants get to know the city in a playful way while searching for Mister X.

Further information

Whether for a birthday, school trip or team event – each tour is individually designed. Several mobile phones should be available per group in order to receive the clues synchronously. You will be given detailed instructions at the starting point.
