About this experience
We invite you to travel back in time to the era of the remarkable and controversial figure, influential politician of the Enlightenment period - Marquis de Pombal. The plot of the quest is based on real events. Riddles and puzzles are closely intertwined with the history and traditions of Portugal. You will walk through the old streets of the city, visit famous places, and discover hidden corners.
What to Expect
What is it about?
We took the life of the outstanding Portuguese reformer - Marquis de Pombal as the basis of the plot. We intertwined real history and artistic fiction. We carefully elaborated the tasks, and the game materials are made as close as possible to historical artifacts. Among them:
- cryptex - a manual safe with a letter-number combination that you will need to open at the end of the game,
- city map with historical facts from the life of the marquis,
- tasks that vary in complexity,
- additional items that need to be used to solve the riddles.
How will it all unfold?
The game locations are approximately a 5-minute walk from each other. The path from the starting point to the endpoint can be completed in 40 minutes. The remaining time of the quest is given for preparation and consideration of solutions. At certain points of the route, you will solve riddles and uncover symbols. In the end, arrange them in a sequence to open the cryptex, inside of which there will be a surprise.
Some organizational details
- At the very beginning, I will tell the legend and introduce you to the game. Throughout the quest, I will accompany you without interfering. In extreme cases, if you get stuck, I can give a hint. The quest requires attentiveness and concentration. It's not easy, but that's where all the interest lies.
- There will be two sets of maps in case you decide to split into teams. You can invite friends and have a speed competition: who will open the cryptex first.
Organizational Details
Upon request, we can conduct the quest in English.
