Berlin, 1961. The Wall just went up. Your city is divided, your family split in two. Your brother escaped to the West, and now he's waiting. The border is guarded, unforgiving, and nearly impossible to cross. But you have a plan.
In this self-guided walking escape game in Berlin, you'll trace the route of the most audacious Wall escape attempts in history as you try to find your own way across. Follow clues through Checkpoint Charlie, the Brandenburg Gate, and the streets of historic East Berlin, solving puzzles and decoding messages left behind by your brother.
Discover the true stories behind the escapes: a man who shot a zipline over the Wall with a bow and arrow, two brothers who painted Soviet planes to fly their sibling to freedom, and a stolen tank that nearly ploughed through to the other side. Each location unlocks a new chapter of Cold War Berlin's most extraordinary human stories.
No guide needed. Start when you like, go at your own pace, and experience one of the most unique things to do in Berlin for history lovers, couples, families, and anyone who wants to feel the weight of the city's past beneath their feet.
