Poznan Old Town Highlights: A Secret Diary Adventure

Crack riddles, follow clues, and uncover the hidden stories of Poznan's historic heart.


This Poznan Old Town exploration game puts you in the shoes of a rookie detective handed a mysterious 19th-century journal filled with maps, puzzles, and cryptic clues. Your mission begins the moment a stranger presses the diary into your hands and disappears into the crowd.

The experience unfolds across Poznan's charming Old Town, guiding participants through landmarks and lesser-known corners that most visitors walk past without a second glance. Each riddle connects to a real story rooted in the city's past, turning the walk into a layered journey through history and local legend.

The format is self-guided and flexible, making it well suited for families, couples, small friend groups, or solo travellers who want more than a standard sightseeing stroll. No prior knowledge of Poznan is needed to enjoy it or to solve the case.

Difficulty is set at an easy level, so the focus remains on curiosity and discovery rather than frustration. The 90-minute runtime is compact enough to fit into a busy travel day while still delivering a genuinely memorable experience of the city center.
