Staying at a curious place called MaxBed in Flensburg, that's just south of the border with Denmark. None of the rooms have en suite bathrooms but there are several toilets and shower rooms of a high standard both of finish and of cleanliness. Unusually for a place like this it actually has a reception desk, only manned in office hours though and no English spoken.

The downside is that it's 3.4 km from here to the harbour where the museums and cafes are.

I saw several things like this as I walked around

Google Lens translates it as:

Walross Alarm
One player is the "walrus," who stands at the end with his back to the playing field. All other players stand on a coloured circle at the beginning of the playing field.
The goal is to hop from circle to circle to the walrus.
But be careful: As soon as the walrus turns around, all players must remain frozen. Anyone who moves must return to the start.
The first to reach the walrus wins and can be the walrus in the next game

All the ones I saw seem to some variety or combination of hopscotch, tag, or Twister.
