About this activity

Solve riddles and crack puzzles across Kraków's medieval center using your smartphone in this GPS-guided exploration game. Uncover hidden stories and cultural treasures while piecing together verses from Adam Mickiewicz's Pan Tadeusz, blending literary history with interactive discovery through the city's most iconic locations.

Kraków remembers. Its cobblestones echo with centuries, its towers watch in silence. But in the heart of the city, one statue stirs. Adam Mickiewicz, poet, patriot, and voice of a nation, waits not for applause but for help. His final pages are missing. The last lines of Pan Tadeusz, his unfinished farewell to a lost homeland, scattered like leaves in the wind.

Now he calls to you, a traveler and a seeker, to help him piece it all back together. From cathedral shadows to hidden squares, each step brings a verse closer to completion. What begins as a search for words becomes a journey through memory, identity, and the spirit of a city that never stopped dreaming in poetry.

You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
