The story

The Order of the Secret Map

Welcome, Explorer. The Order of the Hidden Map has opened a route for you in Wernigerode that ordinary visitors never fully perceive. Let yourself be carried along the pink turrets of the fairytale castle high above the city, through the labyrinth of winding cobblestone streets, and past the enchanting half-timbered houses that whisper the soul of the Harz. Feel the history in every stone and the gentle murmur of the Holtemme embracing the city.

A glimpse of the story — discover the rest while playing.
