Frequently asked questions
What will we see in Gdansk's Old Town on this walk?
The route covers the Long Market and its surroundings: the Green Gate, Artus Court, the Neptune Fountain, the Main Town Hall, the English House, St Mary's Gate, the Royal Chapel, St John's Church, St Nicholas Basilica, the Great Armory, Uphagen House and the Golden Gate.
Does the route pass Gdansk's Main Town Hall?
Yes. The Main Town Hall (Ratusz Głównego Miasta) is one of the stops, visited in the same stretch as Artus Court and the Neptune Fountain. The app tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle based on what you can see there.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts and finishes at the Upland Gate (Brama Wyżynna), so you end where you began. The walk is 2.2 km and takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours, and you can pause and continue later if you need a break.
Is this scavenger hunt a good choice for a family day out?
It is built for families and friends who enjoy puzzles and riddles wrapped in a sci-fi time-travel story. Children who like solving clues and can manage a 2.2 km walk over about two hours will get the most from it. Everyone plays together, and one ticket covers your whole group.
Do we need to book a time or buy entry tickets?
No booking is needed: start whenever suits you. No attraction tickets are required, since the puzzles are solved from what you see outside. Plan to play during the day, as playing at night is not recommended for this route.
