Mobile escape game in Frankfurt's Grüneburgpark
Escape the Forest Frankfurt
A toxic cloud threatens the city – and your team has 2 to 3 hours to save it. Escape the Forest turns a park into the playing field – in Frankfurt we like to recommend the Grüneburgpark, but you play wherever you want. In small teams you follow clues over meadows and paths via tablet, crack puzzles and race against time. Escape room meets nature – out in the green.
What is Escape the Forest?
Escape the Forest is a mobile outdoor escape game. Many know the principle from the escape room: solve puzzles as a team, combine clues, crack codes and work together against the clock. Only here it does not happen in a closed room, but outdoors in nature – a park or city forest becomes the playing field.
Teams are guided by a game app on a tablet that leads them step by step through the mission. There is no fixed room, no setup and no prior knowledge needed: each team gets its tablet, and off you go. Fresh-air movement meets brainwork – exactly the mix that bonds a team.

We come to wherever you want to play
The beauty of Escape the Forest: we run it wherever it suits your team best – a park, a city forest or another green space, even right on your doorstep. We only give recommendations. For Frankfurt we especially like to suggest the Grüneburgpark, because it brings everything a good game needs – which is why it serves as our example here.
Compact on 2–2.5 km
On the expansive lawns and paths of the Grüneburgpark a loop of 2 to 2.5 kilometres is easy to lay out. Ideal for connecting stations without long distances, so your team stays on the move on foot and keeps crossing paths.
A green oasis in the Westend
Wide meadows, giant old trees, the Korean Garden and the skyline on the horizon – right in Frankfurt's Westend the Grüneburgpark is a green world of its own. This backdrop pulls teams straight in.
Many scenes, one mission
The Korean Garden, meadows, paths and quiet corners turn into puzzle locations. A simple walk becomes a thrilling race against time.
Example Grüneburgpark: a backdrop that makes your game special
Why do we like to recommend the Grüneburgpark for Frankfurt? The roughly 29-hectare park in the Westend is the largest green space within the Alleenring. From the English landscape garden the Rothschild family had Heinrich Siesmayer lay out in the 19th century, a public park with wide meadows and old trees grew after the war.
You don't need a remote forest for the game: the Grüneburgpark offers everything a good mission needs in a small area. From the Korean Garden via the wide meadows to the old avenues, paths, rises and quiet corners become puzzle stations – with the skyline as a backdrop on the horizon. The loop is just 2 to 2.5 kilometres, so your team is on foot throughout and keeps crossing paths.
And the Grüneburgpark has a trump card few playing fields offer: nature in the middle of the banking district. Between two puzzles your gaze sweeps over wide meadows, with the high-rises on the horizon. Right next door the Palmengarten and the Botanical Garden beckon – a lovely add-on for afterwards.
Getting there & good to know
The Grüneburgpark is central in the Westend and easy to reach by underground (e.g. Holzhausenstraße or Westend) – ideal when your team arrives from different directions. By car, Frankfurt is connected via the motorway interchange (A3, A5, A66). An Escape the Forest pairs well with a visit to the Palmengarten or a meal – just ask us about a supporting programme.
Insider tips for your Escape the Forest in Frankfurt
A few hints from experience so your team day in the Grüneburgpark runs smoothly:
🗓️ Best time
From May to September the Grüneburgpark shows its finest side – ideal for the outdoor game. But it runs all year; with suitable clothing autumn is lovely too, when the park is especially quiet and colourful.
👟 Comfortable shoes
Meadows, park paths and gentle rises are part of the Grüneburgpark. With flat, comfortable footwear your team has more headspace for puzzles and less for sore feet.
🌸 Palmengarten bonus
Right next door, to finish, a visit to the Palmengarten or the Korean Garden is worth it – botany and calm in the middle of the city. A lovely add-on straight after the game.
📅 Request early
Popular dates (May–September) book up fast. Requesting early secures your preferred date and enough lead time for individual adjustments.

How Escape the Forest works
The escape room experience in the fresh air – as a mobile game that your team runs through the park on its own.
1 · The story
A toxic cloud spreads over Frankfurt. Your team slips into the role of scientists who escaped the disaster lab – now you must produce the antidote in the Grüneburgpark and save the city.
2 · The game
In small teams you follow clues through the park via the tablet, evaluate hints and crack puzzles. Fresh-air movement and brainwork alternate – every solved task brings you closer to the antidote.
3 · The support
Experienced team guides set up the game and are reachable by chat and phone throughout the event. You have nothing to worry about except solving.
4 · The finale
Together against the clock: whoever completes the mission in time saves the city. At the end the winning team is crowned – a moment you'll still talk about over the closing get-together.
Takes place all year with suitable clothing – rain ponchos or sunscreen are included.

Off the shelf – or your own theme
Escape the Forest works straight away as a ready-made format. Those who want it more individual can help shape it – because sometimes a team event should sound like your team, not like a template.
Adapt the theme
Instead of the classic toxic-cloud story, the framework can be adjusted and varied – just ask us about the possibilities. The park stays the playing field, the narrative becomes yours.
Customise individual puzzles
On request we weave company-specific terms, insider references, numbers or a link to your business into selected puzzles. Small touches with a big "aha" effect for the team.
To be honest: not everything is possible, and a fully custom game needs some lead time – but in consultation a surprising amount can be done. Just tell us what you have in mind.
