Prague like you’ve never seen it
Prague’s greatest landmarks. Not a single boring minute.
A brilliant and surprising way to discover the most important places of Prague. The tasks bring the city’s history to life through real events and real people – and at moments you’ll feel as if you were standing right there with them.
History you live, not read
The night the Templars fell, Mozart’s opening night, the Golem of the Jewish Town, the secret mission of 1942 – told through real events by the people who lived them. At moments you’ll swear you’re there.
Made to measure for every place
Every task is tailor-made for its location. Even the objects you use in the game – the zodiac wheel, the headsman’s token, the Charles IV board – are tied to a specific statue, building or carving right in front of you.
Discover Prague, have fun together
You explore the city and play as a team: puzzles that need every pair of eyes, a clock that brings out everyone’s competitive side, and a story you’ll keep talking about.
