The mission: Your story in Budapest

The year is 1988. You are Olympus Peraux, world famous detective.

Last week, you were called to the deathbed of the world’s greatest female fencer, Olympic gold medalist Ilona Elek, in London. As her dying wish, she requested that you track down her sister Margit, and to ensure that the contents of Ilona’s safe are passed on directly into Margit’s hands.

After traveling to Budapest, you set off in search of Margit. But your little grey cells tell you: there’s more to this job than meets the eye.

Jewish Budapest context

Religious life, persecution and renewal in District VII

Budapest’s historic Jewish quarter includes major synagogues, community institutions and businesses, alongside the boundaries of the wartime ghetto imposed in 1944. The neighborhood’s later nightlife does not erase its religious life or Holocaust history. This quest adds a fictional detective case to real places and treats memorial sites as history rather than puzzle decoration. Playable languages: English.
