This tour asks you to look sideways instead, hunting contacts, cracking codes and dodging rival agents across the Old Town for around two hours, with a host on hand to keep the story moving and the scoreboard honest.
Overview
A briefcase-carrying contact meets you beside Neptune Fountain on the Old Market Square, briefs you on a spy mission called Project X, and hands over a game folder. From there the mission is yours. The host does not walk with you; instead you move independently around a route of roughly 4km, solving spy tasks at 8 points of interest while keeping an eye out for bonus challenges along the way.
The game folds sightseeing and historical snippets into the puzzles. Each card carries information about the monument or building you have reached, so even wrong turns teach you something about the city. Reviewers have described ending up in green corners and side streets they had not planned to visit, which is part of the appeal for anyone who has already ticked off the main square.
The whole thing runs about 2 hours, starts and finishes at the same fountain, and works for a wide range of groups. Play as a single team chasing a points target, or split into rival teams if you are 8 or more people and race for the highest score. The operator bills it as family-friendly, wheelchair-friendly and pet-friendly, and it gets booked for everything from couples with a spare afternoon to stag and company outings.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical points shape how this game plays out, from what to carry to how the weather can affect it.
- What to bring. The listing asks for comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing and a charged smartphone. The phone matters because support runs through phone or WhatsApp if a team gets stuck or lost.
- You go alone. This is not a guided walk. The host starts and finishes the game but does not accompany players, so expect to read maps and clue cards and make decisions as a team. Several reviewers said this independence was exactly what they enjoyed.
- Pace and pressure. There is a time element, and reviewers describe it as a race against the clock that is demanding but doable. One traveller noted covering everything took real effort, so a basic level of walking fitness over the 4km route helps.
- Team sizes. A single team plays against a points target, while groups of 8 or more can split into two or more rival teams. One reviewer ran the game with almost 20 people across 4 groups and reported it worked well.
- Weather. The game runs outdoors and depends on the conditions. The operator may cancel in constant heavy rain, strong wind or very low temperatures, and will try to reschedule first.
- Food and drink. Nothing in the way of food or drinks is included, so bring water, especially in summer heat. One reviewer mentioned their guide also shared tips for the rest of their trip at the end.
Common issues. The time bonus is contentious: one reviewer felt it should only be granted once all tasks are complete, suggesting the scoring can feel off. Teams can and do get lost, though the host stayed reachable and steered them back, according to one review. The game is weather-exposed and can be cancelled in persistent heavy rain, wind or very low temperatures, with rescheduling attempted first. Food, drinks and hotel pickup and drop-off are all excluded.
