URB Games Gdańsk
Into the plot…
Long time ago Jan Hevelius, an astronomer who lived in Gdańsk has come across a treasure
that was told to prolong life and bring health and fortune. When the astronomer died,
the treasure was lost in mysterious circumstances and forgotten for over three centuries.
After all this time, we have found a first clue that can lead you to discovering it...
The form of the game and why...
Because we love games and our city! We were looking for a way to make visiting and sightseeing
Gdańsk more interesting. Finally we figured it out and created an urban game that connects walking around the town
with knowledge, fun and competition. In order to discover the treasure you are equipped
with a tablet where we put scans of Hevelius' diary leading you
to the treasure. You also receive a set of helpful stuff: a map, a notepad,
a pencil, and a specialization sheet. While you delve into the game you search for the answers
in the city and look for information hidden inside envelopes.
Let's begin your scavenger hunt!
