What to expect

Starting at Haus Schwarzenberg on Rosenthaler Strasse in the Scheunenviertel, enter your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message into the free Explorial app and begin a self-guided trail through one of Berlin's most historically layered neighbourhoods. In the Hackesche Höfe, Berlin's most famous interconnected courtyard complex, you'll solve riddles about the Art Nouveau tiles and the community that has gathered here since 1907. The trail then heads to Museum Island, where the Alte Nationalgalerie holds one of Germany's finest collections of 19th-century painting — challenges here probe the neoclassical temple that houses it. At the Humboldt Forum, you'll tackle questions about the reconstructed Berlin Palace and the Prussian collections displayed within. The whole trail takes around two hours, moving entirely at your own pace through streets that carry layers of divided-city history.
