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 larger group, there is no limit on the number of participants. 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. Confirming a solved step, purchasing hints and verifying your location do require an active internet connection. If the connection drops briefly, the game remains stable, and those actions are completed as soon as the connection returns.

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 it is also played regularly by adults without children along.
