A dark conspiracy threatens the heart of Copenhagen. You’ve been deployed by your country's intelligence agency to protect the Queen's palace and uncover the sinister forces plotting against the city's historic monuments.
As the clock ticks, you must follow clues hidden in the Royal District, solve puzzles along the way, and confront the hidden enemies trying to destroy the city's future. This mission requires more than just wit; you’ll need courage, teamwork, and the ability to think on your feet.
Walk through Copenhagen’s majestic streets, discover hidden gems, and play the hero. Can you protect Copenhagen and save its heritage? The fate of the city rests in your hands.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
