A scenario that becomes reality
In the second half of the 20th century, the U.S. government worked on a chemical weapon capable of influencing the decisions made by individuals. Officially, work on it was halted in the 1970s. In reality, the work continued under the supervision of the secret organization Spider Tech. With its help, they will be able to make even the smallest decisions for you—including your political views and choices, your purchases, or even forcing you to commit crimes.
At this moment, 20% of the population has already been poisoned with it, and in a few hours, it will be the entire world! Only you, agents of W.I.S.E., an independent spy organization, can prevent this. Hack into Spider Tech’s servers, find the antidote formula, and prevent this catastrophe.
An interesting task lies ahead of you – full of puzzles, ciphers, safes, and many more things challenging your perceptiveness. Without it, you won’t be able to complete this mission. And the time is breathing down your neck! Collect your team, get out into the city and save the world and Krakow.

AR Technology
We’re the only ones in Kraków combining history with digital fiction. Point your iPad at the Salvator tenement house and defuse the ticking bom.
Authentic Backdrop
The game takes you along the Vistula Boulevards, toward Wawel and Planty, and through the streets of Kraków’s Śródmieście district
Live Gamification
Track other teams’ scores in real time. The pressure of time and the competition keep the excitement going until the very end.
Equipment
Forget paper maps. You enter the action with technology and physical evidence.
Command Center (iPad)
Each team receives an iPad in a rugged case. It is your guide: it navigates via GPS map, enables Augmented Reality (AR) vision, counts points live, and connects you with the base.
Agent’s Suitcase
Technology isn’t everything. You will receive a physical suitcase full of spy gadgets, ciphers, and tools necessary to manually disarm the enemy’s security.
TOURISM 2.0
The plot of Operation Mindfall is fictional, but the setting is 100% real. During the mission, you’ll not only save the city but also explore its most fascinating landmarks and interesting streets while solving puzzles.
How has Kosciuszki Street changed over the last hundred years?
When was Wawel renovated?
Where in Kraków is the Water Police headquarters located?

Action Plan
Briefing (Start)
We’ll meet outside the EscapeCity venue. Our Game Masters will divide you into teams of 4–6 people and hand out your equipment: iPads and suitcases.
Field Action
The app guides you along the Vistula River and its surroundings. You’ll need to combine your powers of observation with hacking challenges. The city is your playground—every building and monument might hide a clue.
Cooperation and Competition
Teamwork is what counts here. Thanks to the app, you can see other teams’ scores in real time, which really gets your adrenaline pumping. To win, you’ll need to act faster and more efficiently than your rivals.
Strategy: Time or Points?
The game system requires careful calculation. The harder the puzzle, the more points you earn, but every mistake lowers your score. Stuck? You can “buy” a hint with points. You have to decide: risk time to think it through, or sacrifice points to keep moving forward?
Grand Finale
All teams meet at the finish line. It’s not just a matter of the system tallying points—it’s a real badge-collecting celebration. You receive a points ranking, and souvenir photos are sent to the coordinator’s email inbox.
Our categories:
🏆 The Best of – highest score.
🏎️ Fast & Furious – fastest at the finish line.
🧠 Smartass – most puzzles solved (even if over time).
📸 Best Look – best photo from the route (audience vote!). (If you choose the Premium variant, we provide the prizes!)

“Everyone was thrilled with the “Operation Mindfall” city game and the “Eight Portals” scenario! At first, a few people were a bit skeptical about the game itself (they hadn’t participated in anything like this before). After the game, they were very pleasantly surprised by how fun all the activities turned out to be. I also think all the missions were a huge success. Thank you for the photos; I’ve forwarded them to the team. And thank you very much for the wonderful organization—everything was perfectly executed.”
“Both my own and the team’s impressions are very positive! The Operation Mindfall city game is a great way to spend time and build team spirit. Thank you for the photos from the event. I think we’ll see each other again.
