Mission

Medusa has appeared in Athens and the Olympian Gods need your help to find her. Help Percy collect the sacred items the Gods left across the city, a shiny shield, Aeolus’ magic bag of winds, and Themis’ sword. Each stop has a piece of the puzzle: decode inscriptions at the Monument of Lysicrates, find Poseidon hiding in a Medusa street mural, and answer riddles at the Tower of the Winds. Collect gems, beat the other teams, and calm Medusa before it’s too late.

Local flavors

Traditional Greek donuts ‘Lukumades’ from the famous local shop and refreshments, included with the Physical Game Master experience!

    My friends and I had an amazing time! We spent four days exploring the city and were looking for a fun way to experience the heart of Athens and the charming Plaka neighborhood. This game was exactly what we needed! The view from Areopagus is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset!
