Schloss Rotenturm
Historic castle experience in Burgenland, Austria
Schloss Rotenturm is a restored heritage castle known for its distinctive architecture, cultural significance, atmospheric grounds, and surrounding park areas.
To make the site more engaging for families and visitors, we created a self-guided treasure map adventure that transforms the castle into a playful journey of discovery.
Project Overview
For Schloss Rotenturm, we developed a fully interactive treasure map Adventure Quest designed to bring the castle and its territory to life through exploration, storytelling, and play.
The experience includes a series of station-based challenges located both inside the castle and across the outdoor territory, creating a complete journey through the site and its surroundings.
The quest is available in German and is designed for children aged 6–10 as well as for more advanced players, with the support of accompanying adults.
What We Created
The project was designed as a non-digital, physical gameplay experience that allows visitors to explore the castle independently while engaging with story-driven tasks and symbolic design elements.
Treasure Map Quest
A custom-designed adventure built around exploration and discovery.
Indoor & Outdoor Stations
Interactive challenges placed throughout the castle and its grounds.
Family-Friendly Storytelling
Created for children 6+ with adult assistance and layered difficulty.
Symbolic Design & Reward
Amulet-inspired elements and a final treasure box with a branded souvenir.
Experience Flow & Concept
The Adventure Quest can be purchased directly at the reception desk at the entrance, with no need for additional staff involvement during gameplay.
The experience is fully self-guided, except for the final step of the quest, when visitors return to reception and use the final code to unlock a treasure box.
Inside, they discover a branded souvenir from the castle — a meaningful keepsake symbolizing the completion of their journey.
Why the Client Asked Us
Schloss Rotenturm had recently undergone restoration and was looking for a way to activate visitor interest and increase engagement with the site.
Because the castle is not open for regular daily tourism and is mainly accessible during special events or upon request, the goal was to create a compelling reason for families and tourists to visit and spend more time on-site.
Business & Cultural Impact
From both a business and cultural perspective, the system was designed to make Schloss Rotenturm more attractive, memorable, and scalable as a visitor destination.
Visitors don’t just see the castle — they explore it, solve mysteries, and leave with a meaningful souvenir connected to the story of Schloss Rotenturm.
