Secret City Trails: Bratislava City Games

What to expect

Secret City Trails turns a walk through Bratislava into a puzzle hunt. You solve riddles tied to places along the route, and each answer leads you to the next street, courtyard or story.

The game opens in your phone’s browser, with no app to download, and you play at your own pace in a team of one to five. The trails were created by local bloggers Tomas and Zuzana. A good pick for couples, families and groups of friends.

Before you go

You buy the game online and receive a link by e-mail, valid for three months. Play in daylight and charge your phone before you start; if it rains, pause and pick up where you left off.

History and Mystery is not suitable for prams because of its length and slopes, and dogs are not allowed on the castle section.
