What is a Monster Hunt?
Monster Hunt is a location-based game played in Vienna. The aim of the game is to visit real places in the city and find the monsters with the help of riddles, hints and an illustration. The monsters are mostly works of art in public spaces, such as sculptures, figures from fountains or grimaces on building facades. When the monster is discovered, the players can also read the online stories and learn about this peculiar objects and their history.
How does it work?
In each pack, there are 1 map and 6 scratch cards. The map shows the locations of the monsters in the city and each card provides information on the specific monster you need to find.
Use the map to go to Monster Locations, and once you are there, use the card to find its exact location. The front of the card contains a riddle, four hints and an illustration of the monster; scratch them off to find the monster! On the back of the card you will find also a detailed map of the play area to help you.
When you catch the monster, scratch free the secret code on the card and enter it on: www.wunderkammer.wien to see if you were right and to read its story.
