Your team mission:
Despite the socialist system in the GDR, art dealer Siegfried Kath became a millionaire through illegal art trade. But things have changed for him and his influential supporters from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. Siegfried is no longer safe & wants to flee from East Berlin to Germany. But due to the wall, his travel ban & Stasi agents, it seems harder with each passing day. His only hope is that there seems to be an escapee tunnel under the Berlin Wall. But so far, this is just a rumour. In order not to put people in danger, communication across the illegal border crossing was encrypted. Help Kath find & decipher the clues. Time is running out! The Stasi agents are following you to find the tunnel before you do. The trail takes you along the most exciting corners of Berlin's wall strip.
