What is this hunt about?

In the 1960s, Nykøbing Sjælland had a flourishing period with agriculture, a hospital and coastal life - the perfect setting for a test city.

There were rumors of strange light phenomena over the coast. Of sudden storms on clear days. And of people who knew too much who suddenly disappeared from the city.

You've got your hands on an old notebook that contains cryptic messages, possible truths, and clippings that look like they're from the 60s and up to today.

You must now follow the clues.
Your mission is to find out what happened back then... and why the project was suddenly shut down and erased from the history books.

You can be up and running in 5 minutes...

A great trip around the old part of town. Love that we could play in English, be challenged and at the same time experience real local secrets of Nyboder.

The boyfriend and I love to play on our date nights. Urban Hunt was good entertainment and nice challenging even though we are quite experienced in playing this kind of games.

Mette og MartinThe Murder of the Mermaid

Very funny. We played with a couple of friends. It was great that we could compete against each other, with our team playing the Danish version and the others the English version.

IsabellaThe secrets of Nyboder

Historically really exciting. I love true crime and history, so the combination of the two is brilliant. And then doing an activity outside, in a different way in teams, is really cool. And then it was fun!
