About this activity
Unravel a centuries-old art heist through Malmö's cobblestone streets in this immersive GPS-guided exploration game. Follow the trail of 18th-century painter Alexander Roslin's vanished masterpiece, solving puzzles and deciphering artistic riddles at your own pace while discovering the city's hidden stories and cultural landmarks.
The scent of turpentine still lingers, but the masterpiece is gone. In 18th-century Malmö, Alexander Roslin, painter of kings and seekers of truth, is facing artistic ruin. His morceau de réception, a work that could earn him eternal recognition in Paris, has vanished. Not lost, but taken. And someone in the city knows why.
Wander cobbled streets and quiet studios as you chase shadows and unravel jealous rivalries. Solve layered puzzles, decipher artistic symbols, and track whispers across a city where ambition runs as deep as the canals. The brushstrokes of fate aren't dry yet. With your help, Roslin might just finish his greatest work.
The truth is out there, just hidden beneath cobblestones and whispers.
