Solve a self-guided mystery walk through Gdansk hunting nine cursed clocks. The clockmaker Hans Düringer cursed Gdansk's timepieces after the city blinded him. The prophecy says you can lift the curse, but only if you find every hidden clock he sabotaged.

Use the Questo app on your phone to follow the trail across 15 real Gdansk landmarks: St. Mary's Basilica, City Hall, the Gdansk Crane, St. John's Church, St. Catherine's tower, and the Gradowa Mountain viewpoint. Solve riddles, decode codes, and meet Napoleon, Daniel Fahrenheit, and John Hevelius along the way.

Each chapter has its own puzzle and a piece of Gdansk history, from the 14th-century Crane to the 1561 carillon.

Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. This is a longer quest than most: allow around 3 hours for the full 3.8 km route.
Perfect for history fans, repeat Gdansk visitors, and anyone wanting to see the city through a story.
