What is Monster in the City?

Monster in the City outdoor game logo

A birthday adventure full of movement, nature and shared discoveries: children track down friendly monsters, solve puzzles and help Professor Proof. The story starts at Escape Mission, continues on the way to the Stadtpark and in the park, then carries on along the return route. The tablet provides tasks and hints. The children, their surroundings and the shared adventure are what matter most.

Professor Proof from Monster in the City

Professor Proof needs your help! His monsters have escaped. He guides you virtually on the tablet through the story. He is not a real supervisor on site. Your adult accompanies the group and is responsible for supervision.

Exploring outdoors together

Fresh air and shared discoveries: the children explore Vienna’s Stadtpark on foot, as a group, right in the middle of the adventure.

Find and collect monsters

Monsters hide everywhere – big, small, green and munching. Track them down and capture them. Each monster brings your team closer to its goal.

Solve puzzles and free the professor

Puzzles and small challenges guide the team through the story. Work together and combine your clues to free Professor Proof.

One team – or several competing teams

Play and navigate together as one group, or compete with several teams at once. A shared challenge for larger birthday groups.

Discover nature through play

Nature, animals and sustainability are woven into the story in a child-friendly way. Children learn as they explore and have fun.

Your monster memories

Fun group photos are taken along the way and sent by email after the game – a reminder of your shared monster hunt.

The people behind Escape Mission

Small, caring and independent

We are a small team from Vienna. Since 2013, we have designed and built our indoor missions ourselves – puzzles, mechanisms and stories. Made with care. We put time and attention into the details and welcome each group personally.

Each indoor mission has one room, packed with hand-built puzzles, mechanical surprises and thoughtful details. We love the craft and the shared discoveries it creates. Indoors, whatever the weather – an adventure for rainy days in Vienna too.

Built by us

Our indoor puzzles and mechanisms are designed and built in Vienna.
