Urban game: Wrocław – the city gnomes

An integration-oriented urban game that involves independent exploration of the city by the game participants, as they look for answers to questions about specific places and solve puzzles.
The game master will introduce the rules and objectives, and briefly discuss the city’s topography, history and highlights. Participants will also learn the story of Wrocław gnomes. The group will then be divided into two teams. Both teams will receive a map of the Main Square and the surrounding area, a task card, a code card and a walkie-talkie device. The teams will then be asked to solve tasks, find specific locations and monuments, striving to collect individual letters of the code as they go. Each team will only be able to retrieve half of the code, it is therefore crucial that the two teams remain in touch. Working together, the participants then share results of their work. The game has been designed in a way to enable the retrieval of the code (password), and thus winning the main prize, provided the teams cooperate, facilitating group integration. The level of difficulty is adjusted to the participants, so that winning is in everyone's reach. The main purpose of the activity is recreation and fun.

Time: Around 2h
Language: English
