Through the district with the rat
The tour for children and families
Guided by the app, users are led to exciting locations and exhibits. Through various mini-games, players join the blue rat to collect stars. At the end of the game, a small souvenir awaits the players. The game can be played solo or in a group.
Together with the blue rat, children and families embark on an adventure. The rat needs your help! Although the museum mascot is already familiar with the grounds, he doesn’t quite know what really happened here in the past. Help the rat solve the mysteries of iron and steel.
