About this activity

A GPS-guided exploration game through Poznań's historic center where you solve puzzles and riddles while following the quirky tale of Beniamin Pączko, a pastry-obsessed baker, uncovering the city's hidden history and cultural gems at your own pace.

Deep in the heart of Poznań, one man has lost control. Of his bakery. Of his mind. Of his croissants.

Meet Beniamin Pączko, culinary visionary, dough-driven dreamer, and the voice behind the city’s most chaotic talking pastry. Once the toast of the Old Market, now he’s wandering the streets, clutching his last croissant and whispering about a sacred place: the museum where all great pastries go. But he can’t get there alone.

You’ll follow Beniamin through alleys dusted with sugar and plazas echoing with old recipes. Along the way, you’ll chase crumbs of memory, taste legends baked into brick, and uncover why this flaky hero matters more than you think.

Not just a game. A city. A secret. A story only you can finish.
