The Astronomer's Legacy: Prague Self Guided Mystery Game

Game of Deception

Many clues do not even make sense. Example: look for the ‘underwater’ sign. It turned out to be a lobster which they mistakenly referred to as a ‘crab’. How many ‘eyes’ are in the year ‘1889’? Many other examples.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that this style of puzzles was not to your liking, but we would like to clarify the two examples mentioned in your review. The clue does not refer to the animal as either a “crab” or a “lobster”. It asks players to find a house with an “underwater symbol”. This is intentional: along Nerudova Street, players encounter historic house signs depicting different animals, such as lions, deer and others. Part of the puzzle is to work out which of these symbols represents an animal associated with water. Simply telling players to look for a crayfish would effectively give away this part of the challenge. If a player needs additional help after an incorrect answer, the game then identifies the location more specifically as the House of the Crayfish. The animal depicted on the historic house sign is indeed a crayfish, not a lobster. Similarly, the question “How many eyes are in the year 1889?” is deliberately a visual riddle rather than a literal question. The “eyes” refer to the enclosed shapes within the digits. This kind of wordplay and observation is an intentional part of our games – the idea is often to look at familiar things from a different perspective. We completely understand that this type of puzzle may not appeal to everyone, and we appreciate all feedback from our players. However, we wanted to clarify these particular examples, as both clues work as intended and are part of the puzzle design.

I enjoyed this little trip in Prague. Me and my wife, we really love this city and all its little secrets and interesting facts, hidden in literally every small street and all over facade of so many houses. This game brought me a real joy. We've heard a lots of new and interesting informations and we also discovered a couple of places we've never seen before. It was fun and I'm looking forward to try another one.

Discover magical Prague

We played both parts of the game with a group of kids and adults, and we all had a great time! The route took us through beautiful historic areas of Prague, and we even had time to stop for a coffee. Definitely best to go when the weather’s nice — highly recommended!

Great escape game in a historic part of Prague

As a native Praguer, I like to explore my city. Thanks to this game, we discovered a few interesting corners, the route is mostly off the main tourist routes, and if you manage to arrive at your destination on time, before 7PM, you can reward yourself with coffee or sweets. Solving some of the mysteries was a bit of a challenge, but it forced us to look at familiar places from a different perspective. The game was fun for us, adults, children, and teenagers, and at times it was even exciting when we rushed through timed sections so that we wouldn't be caught by enemies. I think the game is very nicely done on a phone and the AI ​​support is at an excellent level. I can definitely recommend the game, we simply had a great time walking around Prague.
