The 10 Best Scavenger Hunts in Vienna, 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.

Me and my friend completed the ‘Gangster Cage’ room and did nothing but laugh. The riddles were a medium difficulty, which would be great for first timers to escape rooms. With each room we unlocked, the more ridiculous/hilarious the riddles/puzzles became (the reason for 18+ age restriction for the room, became very apparent). I wish I remembered the name of the quiz master but he was so funny and very helpful before, during and after. We would definitely recommend Scavenger Escape!

The Mystery Hunt was amazing. The clues and mysteries were well thought out and the details were so much fun! A definite must do if you want to see the museum in a different light. We had a few starting difficulties, but once we got into it, it was so much fun! I would recommend making smaller groups. We were 8 people and it was hard for everyone to always be involved. I think 4/5 would be ideal. Nonetheless, our whole group enjoyed it a lot and we will definitely be looking out for more tours in the future.
