ParaPoly is the most mysterious boardgame in the city, where you are the protagonist and the whole city is the game board. If being on the inside of boardgame sounds fun and exciting, then ParaPoly is the game for you. Live the adventure and solve the mysteries while taking a stroll through the city of Pécs.

You also need a blind map of the chosen course. You can collect these at the locations below. You will find the different Stations of the game around the edges of the blind map, just like you would on an actual board game. You must take these one at a time while physically walking through downtown Pécs. You will have to use the blind map for every station as well as the information received from our server. You can also send us the solution of the station via the server. If your solution is correct, you will receive the next station’s puzzle within a few seconds. Go through all the stations, solve the puzzles while not only looking but also seeing! If you are clever enough, success is surely guaranteed.

How much does it cost to play?

The game is .... €/team, which is 2 to 6 people.

Who can play?

Anyone who loves a good adventure, is not afraid to walk 2-3 km and enjoys teamwork can play. We do not have an age limit, but depending on the individual maturity of the kids, we recommend ParaPoly as a family activity for children of ages 8 and up, and from age 12, the game can be played independently by adventurous youngsters. It is not necessary to have prior knowledge of downtown Pécs so the game can be played during the course of a short excursion to the city, however, we also have challenges in store for those who were born and raised here.

What equipment will we need?

All you will need is the blind map of the course you have chosen, a well-charged smartphone, 100 MB of mobile internet and a simple pen. Of course, it’s a good idea to wear comfortable shoes ;)

How long is the game?

The length of the game is basically up to you, but it’s worth giving the adventure at least 2,5 hours. It will probably take longer than that depending on how much time you spend sightseeing, having coffee or lunch, etc. Keep in mind that you have a maximum of 48 hours to complete the game after you activate the ticket.

What if I get stuck? Will there be someone I can ask for help during the game?

We tried to make sure that the tasks are clear, so we also subjected the game to a longer test period and in our experience, everyone can solve the puzzles if they use their heads a bit. If for some reason you still can’t crack the secret, you can ask for help. We will let you know how in the description of each station’s puzzle.

What happens if we have to stop playing due to bad weather?

ParaPoly is a non-stop game where you can begin at any time and take a break at any time, but you have a maximum of 48 hours to solve the mysteries. We cannot extend the 48-hour time limit, so keep the weather in mind and only begin playing if you think you can finish within 2 days.

How can I pay for my ParaPoly ticket?

You can pay for your ParaPoly ticket with your bank card or via bank transfer. We will send you an invoice online when you pay. As you will not meet the ParaPoly team personally, we cannot accept cash payments.
