Is this for you?
Who it's for
Visitors curious about Kazimierz's Jewish history, and friends or families who like a treasure hunt, get a self-paced walk of about three hours past the Old Synagogue, Remuh Cemetery, plac Wolnica and Father Bernatek's Bridge, solving clues along the way. Anyone hoping to quiz a live guide on the district's past, or unable to manage a 4.7 km walk in daylight, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the Kazimierz quest start, and how do I find my way around the Jewish quarter?
You start at the Plac Nowy Okrąglak Rotunda, and the app guides you from stop to stop, so you do not need your own map. The route is a loop that finishes at Alchemia, bringing you back to where you began.
What is the treasure hunt in Kraków like?
It is a self-guided walk played on your phone. At each place the app tells its story and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you, as you search for clues about a mystical hero. Stops include the Old Synagogue, plac Wolnica, the Kazimierz Historical Mural and Remuh Cemetery.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take close to three hours, including walking and puzzles, over a 4.7 km route. It is best played during the day. You can pause whenever you like, for a coffee or a longer break, and continue later from where you stopped.
Can we play as a group?

Kazimierz context
Jewish life before, during and after catastrophe
Kazimierz became a major center of Jewish religious and cultural life, with synagogues, schools and businesses existing beside Christian institutions. Nazi occupation destroyed the community through forced removal, ghettoization and murder. Today’s revival includes both living Jewish institutions and tourism. This quest connects past and present without turning Holocaust memory into “magic” or mystery. Playable languages: English, German.
