Self-Guided Secrets of Schwerin Exploration Game

Schwerin’s grand squares and lakeside views hold a secret the Grand Duke cannot ignore. Paul Friedrich, ruler of Mecklenburg Schwerin and connoisseur of pomp, has lost his ceremonial sword, the gleaming symbol of his power and pride. Without it, he is incomplete, and perhaps even ordinary.

Follow the Duke’s commanding voice through the city’s winding streets, across bridges, and into the shadow of his own statue. Solve riddles, uncover clues, and restore the blade to its rightful owner. Just be prepared for his flair for drama and the possibility that the sword was never far away.

You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
