Vyšehrad Fortress

Try our escape game, which we have prepared for you in the iconic Vyšehrad in Prague.

Engage your brains, solve all the riddles, ciphers, and unravel a complex story full of mystifications, but also facts.

You will only need a smart mobile phone and our interactive web application will guide you through the game (mobile data required).

We recommend bringing paper and a pen for notes.

• 8 simpler tasks: ★ to ★★☆☆☆ (children can also participate)

More difficult ciphers are intended more for high school students and adults. Children will probably only be able to participate in simpler tasks, and Vyšehrad will be a nice walk for them rather than deciphering.

The terrain is not suitable for wheelchair users or strollers (route with a larger number of stairs).

From the day of ordering, you can start the game anytime within the next 12 months.

We will take you back almost 300 years, when Vyšehrad served as a Baroque fortress for a military garrison.

At that time, the Czech lands were part of the Habsburg Monarchy, ruled with a seemingly firm hand by Emperor Charles VI. The inhabitants of Prague were still recovering from the last plague epidemic, and there was little cause for joy.

Some found a recipe for chasing away their daily blues in local pubs. The pub "U Černého vola" (At the Black Ox) is one of the most renowned, and that's where you ended up yesterday evening. Old Prague was never short of various eccentrics, but this pub seemed to attract them particularly. The relaxed atmosphere and boisterous merriment that initially prevailed here vanished the moment you were approached by an unknown man with a distressing plea for help. Pure despair radiated from his eyes. He kept repeating that his life was at stake. He claimed that if you helped him, you wouldn't regret it. Given his persistent insistence, you promised to lend a hand once you had slept on it. With this assurance, the eccentric's eyes suddenly lit up; he instantly thrust a crumpled piece of paper into your hand and, with thanks on his lips, quickly disappeared.

This was the crowning touch to the unusual situation!

Wasn't it rather rash to offer help to this eccentric? Especially in these times, when a person's fate can turn against them so quickly? And often for far lesser reasons!

What now? How will you decide?
