About this quest
Copenhagen is stirring — shadows crawl where light once lived, and forgotten corners echo with words never written.
Centuries ago, Hans Christian Andersen hid a tale so haunting it threatened to unravel the soul of the city. That tale is waking. Statues are crying, memories vanishing. You and your team of Seekers must walk the city’s hidden streets, solve mind-bending puzzles, and uncover the 15 lost fragments before the troll in the tale becomes real.
This is no ordinary walk — it’s a journey into mystery, memory, and magic. A real-world adventure to reconnect, to feel alive, and to save a story before it's lost forever.

Literary Copenhagen
The city closely associated with Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen lived much of his adult life in Copenhagen, where the city’s streets, theaters and harbour became part of the world surrounding his work. His 1837 tale The Little Mermaid later inspired Copenhagen’s best-known waterside monument. This quest uses a fictional story; its literary setting is an invitation to notice the real city that shaped Andersen’s career. Playable languages: English.
