On the 4th of May students of the University of Cologne organized a digital scavanger hunt for 80 young online editors from four European countries (Slovenia, Hungary, Czech and Germany). The scavanger hunt was a project realized for the Europe House Marienberg, i.e. thinkeurope exclusively.

Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Torsten Meyer the event started in the morning and climaxed in a flashmob in front of the Cologne Cathedral. The Dead Drops, which were bricked in at different crucial places of Cologne contained history related tasks. The event was insoired by Adam Bartholls Artproject “DeadDrop.”  We loved the event and the many different effects it had.
