About this quest

Dubai, 1787. You are Saabir, a humble craftsman helping raise the walls of Al Fahidi Fort. But one day, as stone meets sand, a whisper shatters your routine. A voice, ancient and unseen pleads from the shadows: "Reunite me with my treasure, and your greatest wish shall be granted." With your heart racing and dreams awakened, you abandon your tools and follow the clues through Dubai’s historic core.

Solve puzzles, explore hidden corners of the old city, and uncover a mystery buried beneath centuries of silence. This is more than a quest—it’s a journey into the past, meant to be shared with those you treasure. Walk, play, connect—and see if destiny favors the bold.

The mission: Your story in Dubai

The year is 1787. Your name is Saabir, a craftsman building the Al Fahidi Fort. During the construction, while you move a boulder, you sense a presence, though you’re still alone. Suddenly, a voice speaks…. 

“Reunite me with my treasure,” the mysterious voice whispers, “and I will reward you with everything your heart desires.” With the promise of untold riches, you drop your tools and take to the city streets.

Travel through Dubai on a hunt for the being’s magic talisman. Find it, and all of your dreams can come true!
