BRAINTEASELAVA CITY GAME
An adventure activity for groups of 2-5 people at which you will be looking for a young student who is reported missing for several days. Relying only on yourselves and the few things inside your backpack which you need to pick up before the game personally, you will solve puzzles aimed to test your perception, common sense or your passion to discover. The mission takes places in the historical center of Bratislava and the orientation is quite simple, but it is an advantage to have at least the basic skill to read a map. You don’t need to be afraid of getting lost but in case you manage to, you will be provided with a map and a mobile phone with a contact number which you can call – we appreciated that the organizers called us a few times while we were on the hunt, just to check how we were doing, and whether we were on a good track 🙂
The game is suitable for total beginners but with the originality of tasks also for escape games veterans, experienced geocachers or treasure hunters who like to solve entertaining and original tasks. We were a group of 3 people and had a great time, even though we picked a super warm day – which made us a bit tired sooner than we’d have wanted to, given the necessary walking, so our advice is to pick a day or at least time of the day when the weather makes it more pleasant for you to walk longer distances. Overall we highly recommend to try this game – the creators evidently put a lot of effort when coming up with the list of quests and places to send you to, so it is worth every cent and you are definitely going to have loads of fun!
Game start: Obchodna 2
Game length: 60-180 minutes (3 km)
