Experience summary

The old town of Chania becomes your game board in this self-guided outdoor tour that mixes city exploration with puzzle-solving. You pick up an adventure backpack at the starting point, and from that moment on, the city gives you the clues. Riddles lead you from one real location to the next, and the only way to move forward is to pay attention to what's around you. Inside the backpack you'll find everything you need: physical tools, clues, and a set of surprises designed to be used on location. Your smartphone handles the audio narration side of the experience, so each spot you reach comes with a layer of story. You're not just walking through Chania. You're reading it. The game is designed to last around two hours, but the pace is entirely yours. You can slow down at a courtyard that catches your attention, grab a coffee mid-game, or push through if your team is competitive. Groups of up to five people share one backpack. Larger groups can take on two backpacks and race each other through the route. It works well for almost any combination of travelers. Families with kids from around age six, friends looking for something more active than a walking tour, and couples who want to explore the city with a bit of structure and a reason to look closer. No guide, no fixed schedule, just Chania and the challenge in your hands.
