About this quest

Muranów, 1936. You're Jan Alter, a humble smith walking home when a mysterious woman recites a chilling poem and offers you an impossible gift—a time turner made of bronze.

In a flash, everything changes. You awaken in the year 2020, in the same district but a different world. To return to your time—and your life—you must follow clues scattered across Muranów’s streets, uncover echoes of the past, and solve puzzles woven into Warsaw’s layered history. 

This quest is a journey through memory, time, and resilience. Walk with friends or family, reconnect with stories nearly lost, and discover the secrets that might bring you home.

The mission: Your story in Warsaw

It’s 1936, and you’re Jan Alter, a Jewish smith living in Muranów.

One night as you’re heading home, you see a strange woman pointing at you. She starts to recite 
a bizarre poem:

The darkest years shall soon begin

The darkest years the world has seen

The lord has asked to save your soul

To spare thee angst is now my goal

I’ll count to three and you’ll be safe

In ninety years must you be brave

And if you can’t escape remorse

Here’s your time turner - a pink horse

You feel dizzy and pass out. When you wake up, it’s 2020. Now your goal is to find a way back.
