The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Inner City, Vienna Region
In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

This was so cool and so well done! There is a really cool back story with a professor who gets killed and his secret fatal virus is stolen. The amount of the virus is enough to kill all of Vienna if poured into the reservoir. Your job is to find which of the 3 suspects is the killer within about 2 hours. You are sent from place to place to gather hints. The hints can be written down or put on a provided answer sheet. If you get it right, you will get the secret code to open the locked box with the virus and save Vienna. Our game master, Kimberly was great and very patient with us. She also helped us with some hints we totally botched. It took us about 2.5 hours but then again, it was cold and we stopped for hot coffee to warm up and do some calculations. This would be good for newbies to Vienna but even for folks who have lived here because you see some things you never looked at before though you may have walked by them hundreds of times and maybe even go into some places you’ve never been.
