QUANTUM CIPHER GAME

A game in which groups composed of 3-5 (wo)men are solving riddles and ciphers in order to find the "treasure" of Smolenice castle. The solution of each cipher points to the position of the next cipher (so expect also a short walk in dark night). Participants will be provided with all the necessary equipment and details before, or during the game. It is important to know that the ciphers are in English.

Game facts:
