Prague, Czech Republic. You awaken not in your bed, but hovering above the cobblestone streets of a city you once ruled. You are Charles IV—King, Emperor… and now, a ghost. The Prague you see is modern yet strangely familiar. And a whisper in the wind brings a dire warning: someone is trying to steal the Crown Jewels.
To protect them, you must retrace your legacy through the heart of the city. Follow real-world clues, solve puzzles hidden near iconic landmarks, and unlock the secrets only a true ruler would know.
This quest is a magical walk through history, perfect for friends or family. Explore together, reconnect with the world, and uncover the mystery behind your return. The jewels—and Prague—are counting on you.
