TIME Crime

This Advent calendar is the hardcover edition of the ZEIT Verbrechen Advent Calendar, featuring connected doors that can be torn open. It is also available as a softcover with identical content.

The successful true-crime podcast ZEIT Verbrechen by Sabine Rückert and Andreas Sentker captivates listeners every two weeks with extraordinary true cases from criminal history. The podcast provides thrilling insights into the nature and causes of crime, as well as the often excellent, but sometimes catastrophic, work of investigative authorities and courts. The search for clues at the crime scene and the evaluation of evidence require a clear mind, deductive skills, and a lot of ambition.

In this special Advent calendar, you take on the role of an investigator. Can you reconstruct the course of events based on the clues and apprehend the culprits? Challenging riddles will also test your knowledge in the fields of criminalistics, criminal law, and justice. On Christmas Eve, you will find out whether you have successfully solved the case or if the perpetrators have escaped you. Never has Advent been more exciting.
