Print or App? Two Ways to the Perfect Mystery Evening

With Der Fahnder, you have the choice: classic printed booklets or digital via our app. Both options have their strengths.

The Printed Version

There's nothing more satisfying than holding a real booklet in your hands. The printed player booklets feel premium, can be annotated, and don't need a battery. Perfect for purists and atmosphere lovers. Print the PDFs on slightly thicker paper — it makes a huge difference.

The App Version

Our Progressive Web App works on any smartphone — no App Store download needed. The game master activates the game, players scan a QR code, and off you go. Secret information appears only on your own screen. Perfect for spontaneous evenings or when the printer is acting up.

Our Recommendation

For your first evening: print the introduction and game master booklet, and use the app for the player booklets. Best of both worlds.
