About this activity

Uncover Prizren's layered history through an interactive self-guided exploration game centred on the lost manuscripts of Suzi Çelebi, a 17th-century Ottoman poet and historian. Solve puzzles and riddles woven into the city's medieval streets, bridges, and landmarks while piecing together fragments of his Gazavatnama across two hours of immersive storytelling.

In Prizren, the past still moves through the streets like a living poem. The Bistrica glides beneath old stone bridges, minarets rise over red roofs, and every alley seems to hold the echo of another century. Here, you meet Suzi Çelebi, poet, historian, and the whispering pen behind the Gazavatnama. He once shaped memory with ink instead of steel, turning Ottoman triumphs, faith, and honor into words meant to outlast time itself. Now his precious scrolls have vanished from their resting place. Their pages lie scattered across the city that first inspired him, hidden among Prizren’s winding lanes, historic corners, and quiet shadows. 

Each stop reveals a fragment of his lost work, a stanza of glory, a memory pulled back from silence. As you trace his footsteps through this vivid city of stone, water, and story, you are not only searching for a manuscript. You are helping restore a voice that still belongs to Prizren. When the final verses return to rest among the city’s stones, Suzi Çelebi can finally breathe again through his words. What was broken becomes whole, and what was nearly forgotten begins to endure once more, as long as the Bistrica flows. Not just a game. A city. A secret. A story only you can finish.
