What is a different way to explore Vienna?

The Chase is a real-life city escape game played with friends and public transport. Its map gives you a way to discover places as you move through the city. This guide offers a taste of the kinds of places to look out for.

Do I need to know Vienna to play?

You can discover the city as you go. Read the game guide before starting, and make sure your group understands the playing area and local transport options.

Is this a guided sightseeing route?

You choose your moves during the chase. These recommendations are inspiration for exploring; they are not a fixed game route or a promise that you will visit every place.

What should our group bring?

Bring your friends, charged phones with The Chase app, and public transport tickets valid for the game. Check the current game details before you set off.

Are these places on the game map?
