Overview

Every year, fourteen young Athenians are sent to Crete to face the Minotaur. This year, one of them is the daughter of Demokritos, a desperate Athenian merchant. He has reached out to you: "The place where she's being held is a secret. Will you find her before it's too late?"

This self-guided game takes you on a 90-minute walking adventure through the heart of Athens. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow divine clues from the Panathenaic Stadium to the Temple of Zeus, through Plaka's winding streets, up to the Areopagus hill, and all the way to the Academy of Athens.

Solve puzzles at iconic landmarks, unravel riddles left by the gods, and piece together a story rooted in ancient Greek mythology.
