City Chronicles

To get started you only need a charged phone or tablet and comfortable shoes, since the adventure takes you through different parts of Kraków. No additional equipment or preparation is required, the game guides you step by step from the very beginning.

Adventures can be played solo, as a pair, or in a group. Access to a paid adventure is bought for 1–4 people, and each of them plays on their own account. It works well as a family activity and as a way to spend time with friends, since several puzzles call for working out the clues together.

Every location in the game is a real place in Kraków, from the main landmarks of the Old Town to its less obvious corners. The puzzles are designed to require your physical presence at the location and close attention to your surroundings, rather than simply reading a description on screen.

Mostly, yes. Once an adventure is downloaded, you can access quests, the map, the story and your journal even without a network connection — you can also solve text and number riddles and confirm your location offline, and your answers are sent automatically once you're back online. Photo tasks and purchasing hints require an active connection.

How long an adventure takes depends on your group's pace and how many stops you make along the way, but it usually falls somewhere between an hour and a few hours. An adventure can also be split across several visits to the city, since progress is saved automatically.

Every adventure includes a hint system that can be unlocked directly in the app if a puzzle turns out more difficult than expected. This means you can keep moving through the adventure without getting stuck for too long in one spot, regardless of a puzzle's difficulty.

The game is aimed at players of different ages who enjoy combining physical activity with solving puzzles. It works well as a family activity and for adults on their own.
