The experience
About this quest
Muranów, 1936. You are Jan Alter, a humble smith walking home when a mysterious woman recites a chilling poem and offers you an impossible gift: a time turner made of bronze.
In a flash, everything changes. You awaken in the year 2020, in the same district but a different world. To return to your time and your life, you must follow clues scattered across Muranów's streets, uncover echoes of the past, and solve puzzles woven into Warsaw's layered history.
This quest is a journey through memory, time, and resilience. Walk with friends or family, reconnect with stories nearly lost, and discover the secrets that might bring you home.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples and families who like a story follow Jan Alter, a 1936 smith thrown into 2020, on a daytime loop through Muranów, past Krasiński Garden, the Pawiak prison museum and Nowolipki street. It covers 3.6 km in around 90 minutes, with puzzles set in the monuments around you. Anyone wanting a live guide, or with children too young for the distance and the prison stop, should pick another tour.

Post-war Warsaw
A time-machine story in a district transformed by war and rebuilding
Muranów was profoundly transformed by the destruction of Warsaw during the Second World War and by post-war rebuilding. More broadly, Warsaw’s historic centre was reconstructed as an extraordinary act of cultural survival after near-total wartime destruction. The pink horse and time machine are fictional; the district’s changing layers of memory are real. Playable languages: English, German.
