Frequently asked.

Localnauts is a GPS-guided adventure game for your neighbourhood. Before you start, you choose a character — a Bohemian apprentice, through whose eyes you experience the story. The player then guides you from station to station, with puzzles, role-play moments and real decisions your group makes together. No app, no sign-up — everything runs in the browser.

At the start of each route you choose one of 9 Bohemian apprentices from different crafts and trades. Your character affects what Nauti tells you — each figure hears different hints. Names and details you discover while playing.

There are three roles that rotate at each station: Navigator (leads the group), Chronicler (notes letters and clues), and Naut (everyone else — solves puzzles, reads clues, makes team decisions). Just two of you? Navigator + Chronicler — and you solve everything together.

The player shows your current position directly on the route. You can see where you are, where the next station is, and how far you have left. Everything is integrated in the player — just go.

No. Localnauts runs entirely in the browser — on Android and iOS. Once you've redeemed the code or scanned the QR code, the route is accessible via the link. You need an internet connection on the go (mobile data or WiFi).

One device per team — ideally a tablet, a larger smartphone works too. Important: the device needs a camera, because the crew takes a photo at every station. Those photos automatically become your keepsake collage at the end. Check the battery beforehand; a power bank never hurts.

Four keepsakes — and every crew gets them, no matter how many points you collected: a photo collage from your station crew photos, your crew logbook with your decisions and answers, a crew certificate with the rank you reached, and a constellation poster. The poster grows with the stardust you collected — the more you discover along the way, the denser your sky sparkles. Your clue-scan photos are kept space-efficiently as small previews in the crew logbook. It all happens in the browser and stays on your device.

Along the way you collect stardust — for team decisions, logbook entries and especially thorough clue-hunting. That moves your crew up the ranks: from Junior Localnauts through Crew and Pilots to the Localnauts Legends. The rank appears on your certificate at the end. Important: nobody gets fewer keepsakes just because another crew scored more — the rank is a moment of pride, not a barrier.

The route takes approx. 90–120 minutes. For rain or limited time there are tips in the adult guide on how to adapt the route.

You buy the route and immediately receive a code. Redeem the code (or scan the QR code), and you're in the web app. No sign-up, no account, no download. Ready in under 5 minutes.

Each code allows the route to be played once. You can pause and continue later at any time, but you cannot restart completely. Schools and institutions can get annual licences that allow unlimited plays.

Progress is saved automatically. You can pause at any time and continue the next day. Just open the link again.

Yes. All routes are fully available in German and English. You choose the language at the start — and can switch at any time.

The first route (Rixdorf) will be playable from summer 2026. Sign up for the waitlist to be notified first.

Each team code covers a small group of 2 to 6 children (one device per group). The S package (6 codes) covers a standard class. It also includes a detailed adult guide with a schedule, role cards, timing variants and reflection questions.

It depends on the mode. If small groups play independently (own start, own pace), each team needs one adult. For school classes there's the wave principle: per adult and start time, up to three small teams (up to 18 kids) set off together; at each station they compete in parallel on their devices, and between stations the wave stays together. A class of 24 to 30 splits into two waves — staggered on the same day or across two dates, one adult each. That way no more than three teams are ever on the route at once: good for supervision and for the small Rixdorf neighbourhood. We agree the right setup before the date.

From year 3 (years 3–6). From there, small groups can guide themselves through the neighbourhood well, and the kids bring number skills like the digit sum that some code puzzles need.

No. The adult guide explains the flow, gives timing hints and describes what happens at each station — without spoiling the puzzles. You can start spontaneously, without any evening preparation.

In Localnauts there are two kinds of roles: the avatar is a character from the neighbourhood whose perspective the group inhabits — everyone experiences the story through different eyes. Separately, players rotate through game roles like navigator, photographer or moderator — these are responsibilities in the game that change. Together they make the experience vivid and keep the group engaged.

Group discounts apply from the XS package (4 codes, ~24 children). All current launch prices apply for the first three months after release.

Yes, definitely. Localnauts works as a ready-made programme item for travel and holiday groups: GPS-guided, 90 minutes, zero preparation. Get in touch for a consultation — we'll work out group sizes and timing together.

Yes. To ensure play quality, a maximum of 3 small groups can be on the same route at the same time. When booking, you select a start time via the timeslot picker — this ensures groups don't get in each other's way. For larger groups, simply book multiple time slots in succession.

Rixdorf is the historic heart of Neukölln and one of Berlin's most authentic places. From 1737 Bohemian refugees settled here — one of the city's first waves of migration. The Richardplatz, the old forge, the Bethlehem Church: real history, not tourist scenery. That's exactly what makes it ideal for perspective shifts: quiet paths instead of selfie spots, real places with real stories.

The routes are based on real places, actual historical events and people from the neighbourhood. Fiction and fact are clearly separated: the narrative frame and characters are invented, the historical context is researched.

The avatars and stories show different lived realities, cultures and perspectives — without victim narratives or moralising. We want children to experience difference as normal, not as a topic.

We're working on it. The texts are written in clear, simple language. For the first route (Rixdorf) the path is largely wheelchair-accessible. An explicit accessibility check is planned for launch.

Localnauts is a project by PLURI, a Berlin studio for urban edutainment. Founded by Christine Möllers — state-certified social educator (B.A.), M.A. Refugee Care and certified cultural manager. She develops the routes, researches the history on site in Rixdorf and accompanies the test runs herself.

PLURI is an independent Berlin studio for urban edutainment. It creates experiences that combine participation, perspective shifts and city history — Localnauts is its first project. More on the 'About PLURI' page.

Gladly. PLURI works with schools, youth organisations, tourism partners and local initiatives — from group packages and affiliate models for hotels and hostels to joint formats. Write to us via the contact form, subject Cooperation.
