The King and the Thieves

The king calls. The thieves flee. Magic has other plans.

A magical artefact disappears from the Royal Castle, and strange things begin happening in Warsaw’s Old Town. Become Gniewomir, the guardian of magic, and follow the Grey Cats gang. The monuments have plenty to say – but before they help, they will put your ingenuity to the test.

Your mission

Gniewomir was hoping for a quiet evening with a book and a cup of tea. Instead, he receives an urgent summons from King Sigismund: the Royal Sigillum has been stolen from the castle. This magical artefact should certainly never fall into thieves’ hands. Unfortunately, the Grey Cats gang is already trying to use it.

Follow the fugitives through Warsaw’s Old Town. In this story, monuments speak, the Mermaid remembers suspicious conversations and magic can cause chaos even in stone façades. Your unusual informants do not give away information for free, though. You will have to solve a puzzle, find a detail in your surroundings or cast the right spell in the app.

“The King and the Thieves” is a city adventure filled with humour, puzzles and a magician whose patience is running thin. Look for signs, connect clues and help him recover the artefact. Warsaw has quite enough going on without uncontrolled magic!

Zagraliśmy, bo znajomi nam polecili. Ogólnie spoko, ale jedna zagadka nas pokonała. I niby jak już jesteś pod tym czymś, czego szukasz, to to widać, ale długo się naszukaliśmy. Fajne są podpowiedzi.

Dużo szyfrów i zagadek, gdzie trzeba się chwilę zastanowić.

Before you head into the city

Can we manage if we’ve never played a city game before?

Of course! Our games are also designed for people who are just starting their adventure with city games. The app guides you through the entire story step by step, and if you get stuck, you can use the hint system.

Before purchasing, it’s worth checking the game’s difficulty level. If this is your first adventure, we recommend starting with one of the easier games.

💡 Pro tip: During the game, check the Story and Fun Facts sections. You can return to previous events and information at any time – they may sometimes come in handy when solving later puzzles!

Each purchased code activates the game on one phone. That doesn’t mean you have to play alone, though – many people enjoy the adventure as a couple, with family or with a group of friends, all using one device.

If you prefer each participant to have the game on their own phone, you’ll need a separate code for each device.

After purchasing, you’ll receive an access code. Enter it in the app or simply open the link in the email. You’ll then see a short tutorial showing you how to use the app.

You can start the game on any day and at any time — no reservation is required. Just head to the starting point and begin your adventure.

No. The game code is not assigned to a specific date or time. You can buy it in advance and start the game whenever you like – for example, a week or even a month later.

The code is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Yes. Your progress is saved, so you can pause the game and return to it whenever it suits you.
