Live:Krimi – The Puppet Show

New year, new live crime mission for all amateur detectives, crime fans, and puzzle enthusiasts! This year, the Wurstelprater is once again the scene of a spectacular murder mystery. As amateur agents, you are invited to solve the Prater Mission 2026 and demonstrate your determination, deductive reasoning, creativity, and teamwork skills.

Mission: The Puppet Show

A strange clown doll appeared in the Vienna Prater just a few days ago. Not a child's toy. Not a souvenir. More like...unsettling. It holds a black envelope in its hand – and as soon as you touch it, it always says the same sentence: "I just want to play." In this context, that sounds less like an innocent wish and more like a subtle threat, which is why the doll quickly made it into almost all major media outlets in the country. How does the doll get into the Vienna Prater? What is its goal? And why does it seem so incredibly lifelike?

Your Task
You take on the 100-Point Challenge: Eight completely different tasks in the Wurstelprater – each worth 5, 15, or 25 points. The route is your choice – only the result counts. 100 points, nothing less. And no: shortcuts don’t work. The doll keeps track. Every solution. Every mistake. Every excuse. What happens at 100 points? No one can tell you for sure, because everyone has failed before reaching it. Maybe she reveals why she’s here. Or maybe you only realize then that this was never just a game.
