The Warsaw scavenger hunt starts at the Church of the Visitation in the New Town and leads across the New Town Market Square to Krasiński Palace. Through the Barbican you enter the Old Town Market Square, then reach the Royal Castle, the Grand Theatre and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, finishing at the Drogowskaz Obelisk by the Saxon Garden.
The 10 stops cover about 3.8 km, roughly 47 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Warsaw’s Old Town was almost completely destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt after the war so faithfully that it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an example of reconstruction. The Mermaid, the city’s symbol, guards the Old Town Market Square, the Royal Castle was rebuilt from the 1970s, Marie Curie was born in the New Town, and soldiers keep watch at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
A city game turns sightseeing into a shared challenge. You have to observe to find each answer, so you remember far more than from a guidebook, and the stories and local legends bring every stop to life. There is no tour time to meet: start, pause and finish whenever it suits you.
