The experience

About this quest

Walk the streets of Gdansk as they were in December 1982, martial law, watched, dangerous. 

You carry microfilm naming every informant in the city's underground press network. Your contact waits at the river. 

Between you and delivery: ten dead drops across Gdansk's Old Town, each requiring you to read the city as a courier reads it, exits, sight lines, who has been parked too long. Real Cold War history on foot.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • St. Bridget's Church, Lech Walesa's parish, heart of the Solidarity underground

  • The Great Mill: 14th-century walls, 1982 dead drop

  • Arsenal cipher, count the columns to unlock your microfilm

  • Prison Tower: handoff in plain sight under martial law

  • Final rendezvous at the Motlawa river, Green Gate
