About this activity

A self-guided smartphone exploration game that blends Warsaw's real history with an interactive puzzle adventure. Navigate the Old Town using GPS-based riddles and photo challenges while uncovering the story of Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz and the city's layered past.

In Warsaw, the past speaks in verse. And Adam Mickiewicz, once the soul of Polish poetry, now drifts forgotten between monuments and memory. He remembers stardom, rebellion, exile, but not himself. Not fully. Somewhere along the cobblestones, he dropped his own voice.

Now he walks beside you, a spirit in search of his essence. As you trace riddles through courtyards, churches, and resistance-scarred streets, his story (and perhaps your own) begins to unfold. Together, you will find his name, his truth, and a place where poetry endures.

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