The experience
About this quest
The skeleton on Prague's famous clock has stopped, and you are the clock keeper's apprentice. Walk from the Powder Tower across Old Town Square, through the Jewish Quarter and onto Charles Bridge, solving a puzzle at 10 landmarks. Some answers hide in the story, others on the statues and walls in front of you. Meet the Golem, the astronomer with the metal nose and the saint with five stars. A self-guided game where legend and real history are always told apart.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with school-age children and first-time visitors play through Prague's legends, from the Golem to the clock's stopped skeleton, solving medium-level puzzles at 10 landmarks between the Powder Tower and Charles Bridge. It takes about an hour over 2.1 km, with legend and real history kept apart. Toddlers and anyone wanting a live guide to quiz about the Golem should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Charles Bridge on this route?
Charles Bridge is the last part of the walk. You start at the Powder Tower, cross Old Town Square, pass through the Jewish Quarter and then head onto the bridge. The game finishes at the statue of St John of Nepomuk on Charles Bridge, the saint with five stars.
How long does the walk take and how far is it?
Most players take about an hour, including walking and solving puzzles. The route is 2.1 km and covers 10 landmarks, from the Powder Tower through the House of the Black Madonna, Týn Church, the Astronomical Clock and the Old-New Synagogue to Charles Bridge. It does not return to the start.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is tagged family friendly and suits school-age children best. Puzzles are medium difficulty: some answers are hidden in the story, others on statues and walls you can see, which keeps kids looking around. Younger children may need help with the reading and the clues.
Is it free, and do we need to book a time?
It is free to play, and no attraction tickets are required along the route. There is no group to join and no guide, so you can start whenever you like, play together on your phones, pause and continue later.
Is the game played outdoors?
It is a self-guided walk through the streets of Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, ending on Charles Bridge. The puzzles use the statues, walls and landmarks in front of you and no entry tickets are needed, so plan for being outside and dress for the weather.
