A living mystery in the castle halls

As a visitor, you take on the role of a detective. Along the way, it is important to keep your eyes and ears open. Listen at the doors, read documents, and notice even the smallest details. Who is telling the truth – and who is trying to hide something?
As the clues come together, the mystery begins to take shape. Together with family or friends, you try to uncover the truth and reveal what really happened at the castle.
A day in a 1920s atmosphere
