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.

Beat the best: Top Prague explorers
I’m a Czech from Pilsen, now living in Prague. In my free time, you’ll usually find me diving into board games, solving escape rooms, or getting lost in books about wizards or detectives. My heart belongs to Prague, Pilsen, and the magical streets of Český Krumlov — my favorite spots in the country.
