Description

In the mountains around St. Johann lives Maxl, a lively marmot. He loves to romp through the mountains and across the meadows. One day, he discovers an ancient treasure map in an old cave – but it has fallen into several pieces and been scattered by the wind! Since then, Maxl has been searching for the missing pieces – but he can't do it alone…
Help Maxl find the scattered pieces of the treasure map and uncover the treasure of the mountains!

Along the way, there are a total of 8 interactive stations, each with its own puzzle to solve.
