New Escape Game About Hesse
Live on location in Tübingen: Solve Hermann Hesse’s riddles together in the new escape game “Escape from the Bookstore”
📖 An escape game about rebellion, discipline, and the path to freedom: The young Hermann Hesse has left you a letter—from a time when he fled a monastery school, was locked up in a dungeon, and finally found his way to becoming a poet as an apprentice at the Heckenhauer bookstore.
Whether it’s a school class, a family, a group of friends, or a team event: Follow his hidden clues through the real bookstore, crack the code station by station—and work together to decode the Cryptex at the end.
🔑 45–60 minutes of puzzle fun right in the heart of the original Hesse Cabinet.
👥 For groups of ages 12 and up.
📍 Meeting place: in front of the Hesse Kabinett, Holzmarkt 5, Tübingen.
🤝 In cooperation with the Tübingen City Museum.
