Offered in: German and 1 more

Solve a self-guided magic escape game on a walk through Bratislava's Old Town and Castle Hill. The city has fallen under a dark spell.

You are a young mage chosen by the High Mage to find old magic, defeat a dark wizard, and lift the curse before nightfall.

Use the Questo app on your phone to gather magic at 10 real locations across the historic core: the Presidential Palace fountain, Michael's Gate, the Main Square, the National Theatre, and Bratislava Castle.

Cast spells, collect relics, brew a banishing potion, and face the final showdown.

Every chapter has its own riddle, story-driven challenges, and real Bratislava history, from the Great Moravian Basilica to local witch trial legends.

Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Allow around 60 minutes for the full 2.4 km route.
Family friendly and great for couples. Perfect for fantasy fans, escape game enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to explore the Old Town with a story.

    Your mentor places an ancient spellbook in your hands and disappears into the dark. Speak his name to open it. The map page lights up for the first time. Count what is etched on the metal globe of the fountain to begin your journey.

  • (Pass by)

    An ancient relic is hidden in plain sight on this baroque pink facade. Find what watches over the entrance and a guardian amulet will form around your neck. Black magic cannot touch you while it glows.

    Bratislava's only surviving medieval gate hides the wand movement for a seeker's spell. Trace the contours above the passage and Revelatio Aperi will write itself into your spellbook.

  • (Pass by)

    Draw a circle. Place your hand on your relic. Speak the missing word, and a guardian spirit rises from stone to stand at your side. The weapon resting in his hand is the word you need.

    A wolf of smoke and bone steps from the shadows. Your guardian's sword passes through empty air. Look down at the bronze worker peeking from the manhole and name what rests upon his head, then strike with fire.

    A potion can drive the darkness back, but two ingredients are missing from the recipe. Look closely at the carved animals around the basin. The first ingredient is hiding in plain sight.

  • Morovy Stlp (Pass by)

    The final ingredient hides on one of the three carved scenes around the base of this 1713 monument. Walk all the way around. Name it, brew the potion, and seal the vial for the moment that matters.

  • (Pass by)

    On the way up to Bratislava Castle, a witch blocks your path. Black ravens watch from her shoulders. Her power rests in those birds. Name them, and your guardian can break the spell.

  • Equestrian statue of Svätopluk (Pass by)

    The dark wizard stands before a swirling portal. Your guardian charges. You raise your amulet. You hurl the Bane of Night. One word remains to complete the banishing spell, and only the name of an old hero will finish it. Speak the name. Save the city.
