Spy Scavenger Hunt Game

Undercover City Games sends you into Poznan as an agent hunting a mole. Clues arrive on your phone, puzzles sit hidden on facades around the old town, and the story moves you from Stary Rynek to the river with no guide and no fixed start time. Play solo or in a team.

Overview

A suspicious character with a briefcase waits by the Neptune Fountain on Poznan's Old Market Square, and that person kicks off your mission. This is Undercover City Games: Poznan, a private team activity that turns sightseeing into a spy themed game. Each team receives a game folder and materials, then sets off through the Old Town as secret agents, cracking tasks tied to real attractions and slices of the city's history.

The format works a bit like an outdoor escape room, as one reviewer put it. Several travellers noted that some tasks are much trickier than others, with one mission in particular earning a reputation for difficulty. The route finishes back at the fountain where it began.

Reviewers described it as a good break in the middle of a day of sightseeing, and one group of five was matched against another team of three for a competitive head to head. At the end, teams receive certificates and a team photo to take away. The listing notes that most travellers can participate, though it is not recommended for anyone with serious problems walking.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what helps to know before booking, from the listing details and from what travellers who played the game have said.

• Pace and fitness. Expect roughly two hours of walking around the Old Town with stops for tasks. The listing says it is not recommended for anyone with serious problems walking, though most travellers can participate. One reviewer described it as a beautiful walk, and another said the varied tasks did not take too long.
• Group feel. This is a private activity, so only your group takes part. That said, one reviewer reported being introduced to another small team and playing against them in competition, so a versus element can happen on the day.
• Task difficulty. Several reviewers warned that some tasks are much trickier than others. One task in particular was called out by name by more than one traveller. Treat the harder ones as part of the fun rather than a blocker.
• Weather matters. The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled because of poor conditions, you will be offered a different date or a full refund. Dress for standing and walking outdoors for the full two hours.
• Accessibility. The listing states the activity is wheelchair accessible, including surfaces and transportation, and that pushchairs are fine. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation.
• What you get. The game folder and materials, certificates and a team photo are all included. No food or drink is mentioned as included, so plan refreshments separately.

Common issues. The game needs a minimum number of travellers to run, and if that minimum is not met you will be offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund. Poor weather can also cancel a session, with the same options offered. Cancellations on your side must be made at least 24 hours before the start time to get a refund. One thing to be aware of: not every task is easy, and a couple of reviewers singled out task number six as a real challenge.
