The Lost in Time series from MMHistory comprises two historical adventures in Stuttgart. “The Case of Wilhelm” is perfect for families and beginners. “The Case of Max” is aimed at experienced puzzle fans with significantly more challenging puzzles.

No sets and no ordinary city tour. MMHistory combines an escape room, a city rally and a city tour to create a historical puzzle adventure featuring real events, fictional characters and original locations from Stuttgart's history.

Your experience starts at the Jubilee Column on the Palace Square, where you will be personally greeted by historian Michael Mezger. After a short introduction, you will receive your puzzle book with all the clues. You will then play independently in your own group. If you get stuck, you can reach Michael during the game via WhatsApp or telephone. With the puzzle book, you'll head out into the city's streets, lanes and squares to solve exciting challenges. Each stop takes you to historical places, connects the present with the past, and lets you rediscover Stuttgart.

History comes to life as you make your way through the city. You will discover surprising stories and facts about Württemberg and Stuttgart that are often overlooked. In doing so, you will follow various leads, decipher clues and solve tricky riddles. You will find some clues in the puzzle book, while others you will discover directly on buildings, in squares and in small details around the city. There is no time pressure. You can explore Stuttgart at your own pace and enjoy the adventure together outdoors in the middle of the city.

The games are suitable for teenagers and adults who enjoy solving puzzles together. They are particularly popular with families, groups of friends, companies and school classes. In both adventures, you will remain as a group among yourselves. “The Wilhelm Case” can be played with 3 to 40 people, and “The Max Case” with 3 to 12 people. For large groups, we divide you into teams so that you can experience the same adventure at the same time and everyone can fully immerse themselves in the fun of solving puzzles.

The route takes you through Stuttgart's city center and leads you to well-known landmarks as well as to little hidden gems that even surprise locals. The routes are mostly barrier-free and stroller-accessible; individual steps can be bypassed. Please bring flat shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. For “The Case of Wilhelm,” a smartphone is helpful but not required. For “The Case of Max,” you will need a charged smartphone with a mobile internet connection. You will receive the puzzle book and all other game materials on site.

At the end, you will return to Schlossplatz, where you will meet Michael again. Together, you will discuss the riddles you have solved, share your impressions, and have the opportunity to ask questions about Stuttgart's history. This personal wrap-up rounds off the experience and will stay with you for a long time.
