We are a group of language students and we played the game with our teacher: a great and fun way to practise, and learn interesting stuff about our city that we didn't know.
Perfect with a group of A Level pupils. Loved it.
Quests for classes
A Questo school day in Warsaw takes place on foot across Muranów and the streets around Castle Square. Time-Machine Hidden In Muranów, for pupils aged about 8 to 11, starts at the Blue Skyscraper on Plac Bankowy. It loops past Krasiński Palace and its garden lake, the Monte Cassino monument, the Pawiak Prison Museum and the Arsenal. Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows, for ages 14 to 18, begins at Sigismund's Column. Teams question their way past Pac Palace, the Jan Kiliński Monument and St Anne's Church. Krasiński Garden lies between the two routes, so a class can play one quest before lunch and visit the other area afterwards.

Caution: Wide roads such as Marszałkowska and Aleje Jerozolimskie are crossed via underpasses or long signals, and police can fine jaywalking. Red cycle paths often run along pavements, so keep teams off them.
