So what exactly are Localnauts?
Localnauts don't travel to space — they travel through time and the city.
The name says it: not astro-, but local-naut. Instead of heading for the stars, Localnauts travel through the history of a place. Become a crew, solve puzzles together and discover what's hidden right in front of you.
Astronauts explore the universe. Localnauts explore the cosmos next door.

What families say.
It's great fun and you learn a lot.
I thought the tour was really cool.
It was so much fun getting to know such an exciting corner of Berlin! With friendly Nauti by your side you dive into the history of Rixdorf, suddenly find yourselves in another time and solve one puzzle after another. Along the way, questions come up that are still highly relevant today — so as a group you really get talking, and you learn to reach a decision together.
My great-niece and her brother came to visit. I wanted to offer them something they didn't know. Friends had told me about Localnauts — I was hooked straight away. And rightly so: the kids and the parents found it exciting and interesting and had a lot of fun. I can only recommend it.

More than an adventure
At heart, Localnauts is a confidence-building tool: the kids have a say, act as a team and grow through their own successes.
Voting counts.
The crew votes at every station — every voice counts, everyone gets a say. And roles rotate: responsibility moves through the whole crew.
A time journey that matters.
Every route tells the story of people who changed something through courage.
The Kiez carries history.
Cobblestones, street names and alleyways carry history — and through their avatar, the kids become part of it.
Played outside.
Localnauts guides you by smartphone or tablet — but the walking, searching and finding happen outside in the Kiez. The kids find their own way and stay on the move.
Available routes.
1737. Your chest is gone. Rixdorf is unfamiliar. And the clock is ticking.
The Lost Chest of Rixdorf
Story-based rally through the historic Bohemian Village — with team decisions, role switches and a puzzle solution word.
The whole family plays along.
Everyone looks at one shared device — nobody disappears into their own screen. You guess along, vote along and watch how independently your kids find the way.
At every station you take a crew photo. At the end Nauti turns them into a collage — plus your crew logbook with your decisions and an orbit diploma. It all stays on your device.
More than a nice photo: the kids lead, decide as a team and solve tasks together — and come back a little more self-assured.
Created by Christine Möllers — social worker (B.A.), M.A. Refugee Care and certified cultural manager. Not a random product, but a pedagogically grounded concept.
Still got questions?
Localnauts is a GPS scavenger hunt that runs entirely in the browser — no app and no account. You redeem a game code, choose your game role and head out. Along the way: story, puzzles and team decisions, all played outdoors in the Kiez.
The avatar is a historical-fictional character from the neighbourhood the kids identify with — so they step into the time and perspective of back then. Game roles — navigator, photographer, moderator — are responsibilities within the game that rotate. Together they keep everyone actively involved.
For kids age 8+ — best for 8 to 12. In a family, younger children can join too: adults or older siblings help with the trickier puzzles. The route is built so children lead and adults accompany.
Each game code is playable once — with pausing and resuming at any time. Schools and institutions can get annual licences for unlimited play.
For families: 2–6 people per game code (ideal 4–5 per device so everyone can follow along). For schools and groups: multiple game codes, each small group on their own device. Max. 3 groups on the route at once — choose your start time via the timeslot picker.
The first route (Rixdorf) is playable now. Get your game code at localnauts.com.
