THE RALLY
The participants are guided through Copenhagen's city center during the rally and have to solve various tasks on their journey of discovering the German traces. The duration of the game is approximately 90-120 minutes.

STRUCTURE
The game is divided into four parts and each part starts at a new location in the city center. Each group picks a name at the beginning of the game and gets points for each correctly answered question. At the end of the game, the groups are led back to the Goethe-Institut, where the game begins. Finally, the groups are asked to upload their results. In this way, teachers can see all the points and, if necessary, choose a winning group.

HOW IT WORKS
One smartphone or tablet per group is needed. Each group downloads the Actionbound app. The app is available for free from the App Store and Google Play. Then each group scans the QR code or follows the link.
