About this quest

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.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Prague combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 14 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 6913 minutes to complete and covers 3.5km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Prague.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

The mission: Your story in Prague

You were sleeping peacefully when you feel a tug on your arm. You open your eyes and see your beloved Prague, but it looks so different!

You look down and notice that you are translucent. You, King Charles IV, the first Czech King crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1355, are a ghost! 

Before you can ask yourself why you were brought back from eternal rest, a familiar voice whispers faintly in your ear: Save the Crown Jewels... Someone is trying to steal them.
