Secret Society Tours
Decode Hidden Symbols
Templars, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Compagnons du devoir — every European city carries marks of the orders that shaped it. The AR highlights the carved symbols on real walls, an initiated character explains what they mean, and you decode the manifesto piece by piece.
What is it?
OddballTrip secret society tours are AR escape games played outdoors.

Available in 2,000+ cities, 32 languages — from €12 per team, no app to install, code valid 24h after launch.

Open the camera, hunt clues in AR
At each stop, open your phone camera and point at the façade. An AR character appears on the real wall and narrates the story in your language. Hunt the clue — it materializes as golden letters on the wall or floats in front of you. Tap to collect your fragment. Combine the 8 fragments to crack the final code.
What makes our decode hidden symbols different?
AR symbol highlight
Frame a tympanum, blazon or mason’s mark and the AR illuminates it, naming the order it belongs to.
Documented orders only
Templar commanderies, Masonic lodges, Cathar territories. No conspiracy theories, no Da Vinci Code.
Initiated narrator
A character from the order (Templar knight, mason, Cathar perfect) explains the symbols’ historical meaning.
Top destinations for secret society tours
Tomar Portugal, Aigues-Mortes, Provins, Edinburgh (Rosslyn), Toulouse (Cathars), Vienna (Mozart’s lodge).

Frequently asked questions
Conspiracy theories?▾
No — strictly history. Documented orders (Templars 1119-1312, modern Freemasonry from 1717, Cathars 1140s-1244) where the trace in stone is real.
Need to be initiated?▾
No — the AR character introduces every order, symbol and meaning. Many players know nothing of these histories.
Visit masonic lodges?▾
Most are not — we point at exteriors of historic lodge buildings. Some offer public tours (e.g. Grand Lodge of England, Mozart-related lodges in Vienna).
