Weekend City Game in Gdańsk

What is a city game and who is it really for?
A city game is more than just a walk — it's an adventure where the city becomes a game board and participants become its heroes. It's a series of puzzles placed at various points across the city, guiding participants through streets, alleys and less obvious places. Along the way, navigation meets logical thinking, and along the way… you discover stories, curiosities and legends you often had no idea about.
Sounds serious? Don't worry, it's above all great fun!
A city game is for anyone who likes to spend time actively. For those who'd rather go for a walk — but one with a storyline and a hint of mystery — than sit on the couch. It's an ideal proposition for friends, families, couples or even colleagues who want to spend some quality time together in a more creative way.
You could say a city game is a clever combination of several worlds:
a touch of orienteering — finding points in the terrain,

the atmosphere of an escape room — thanks to puzzles to solve, and a guided tour — because along the way you learn the history and secrets of the city.

Except instead of listening — you act. Instead of watching — you discover.
And that's precisely where its greatest charm lies.
Why choose this form of entertainment?
Let's start with the fact that winter this year really took its toll. Long, freezing and the kind that effectively tested our resistance to the cold. No wonder that at the first breath of spring, most of us dream of just one thing — getting outside, without the risk of frostbite, and finally catching our breath… preferably with that famous, seaside Gdańsk air.
And this is exactly where the city game comes in!
It's a great excuse to take your family or friends on a shared adventure. One where cooperation, wit and a touch of detective flair count. Who knows, maybe together you'll find the hidden treasure?
For those who enjoy a thrill of competition, we have something extra. You can compete against other teams — not only on completion time, but also on the number of correct answers, hints used or… style of play. Yes, style counts too.
And if competition isn't your thing, don't worry — participation is entirely optional.
Not enough? We throw in something extra.
By listening to Radio ESKA, you can win free tickets to our game, and at the end — take part in a prize draw. The pool includes gadgets prepared by both us and the radio station.

In short: spring, movement, fun and a bit of excitement — sounds like the perfect plan.
How to sign up?
Nothing simpler — seriously!
Gather your crew (ideally 5 people, but even two is fine — and what a date that would be! We guarantee it'll be unlike any other). Then head to urbgames.com/en/weekendowa-gra-miejska — pick a convenient time and difficulty level… and you're all set!
Speaking of levels — there's something for everyone:
Young Explorers
The ideal level for families with younger children and those just starting their puzzle adventure. Want to show your loved ones Gdańsk in an interesting way? Or spend active time with the kids solving simple and fun brain teasers? This option is for you.
City Detective
For those who already have some puzzle experience and want to step it up. Great choice for families with older kids and groups that enjoy challenges. A bit more thinking, lots of satisfaction.
Masters of Gdańsk
This is where the real game begins. A level for adult teams ready for intense competition against time… and their own minds. Can you make it in an hour? Try and see what you're made of.
And if that's still not enough… we're working on something more…
"Veterans" — a level for true puzzle veterans who've seen it all and still want more. If you feel this is for you — let us know. Maybe we're waiting for you to launch it.
What does our game look like?
To start, we hand you a starter kit: a tablet with our custom app and a pack full of… surprises. You'll find mysterious materials, and sometimes even something for a quick energy boost.
And then the fun begins.
Along the route, various challenges await: padlocks to open, encrypted messages hidden in envelopes, and sometimes puzzles that only reveal their secrets once assembled. Each stage is a new riddle and a new piece of history to discover.

What's more, the surroundings play along with you. Sometimes the dim light and atmosphere of mystery will help, other times everything unfolds in broad daylight where observation matters most.


One thing is certain — boredom has no place here.
And finally, something for you — a little riddle. Can you solve it on the spot, or will you need to visit Sobieski for a hint?

What makes us stand out?
Above all — flexibility. And not just in theory.
There's no limit on teams, so planning a big corporate event? Great, we'll fit everyone. Want to adjust the difficulty? We'll set the game perfectly. Need different languages? No problem. Dream of personalized puzzles? We'll happily create them.
Even the game time isn't rigid — if 60 minutes is too much or too little, just let us know. We'll adjust the scenario to your needs.
Thanks to this, our games work great for various occasions: from corporate team building, through stag and hen parties, to birthdays or simply… an idea for an unusual, well-spent afternoon.
