Opening Hours
Play our treasure hunt in Hamburg
Monday - Friday: 09:00-17:00
Saturday: 11:00-16:30
Sunday: only autonomous teams
Our team is usually in the office during the specified opening hours. Teams book their treasure hunt in advance through our website and start within their chosen time slot. If you return after we’ve left, no problem – you can simply drop off the backpack in a secure locker on our terrace later the same day.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, we offer autonomous games only. However, team events with personal guidance can still be arranged on those days (and others) by request.
The game is best enjoyed in daylight. In winter, it gets dark from around 4:30 p.m. If you’d like to play in the evening, we’ll provide a powerful flashlight – the game gets a little more challenging, but still just as fun!
