The mission: Your story in Prague

Prague, year 1600. Emperor Rudolf II turns the city into the heart of alchemy and mystery. Hidden societies move in shadows, symbols speak to those who can read them, and whispers tell of the Philosopher’s Stone.

You have been chosen by the Academia Curiosorum Hominum. Seek secret ingredients scattered across the city. Only when all are gathered can the Stone be created.

But beware — Prague itself will test you with riddles and illusions. Trust your mind and remember: the Emperor waits for no one.

great tour with interesting riddles. we tested the beta version, only recommendation we have is to adapt the first few chapters a bit so that this quest is not overlapping with the other Prague alchemy quest!
