The mysteries of Warsaw

Warsaw is steeped in history, but often the evidence of that history is overlooked - obscured by modern developments or simply obliterated from memory. For those curious about Warsaw's history - whether as a newcomer or long-term resident - Staypoland Travel's new Enigma Warsaw game may be of interest.

Enigma Warsaw is an outdoor game suited for groups of up to 40 people which leads its participants through the capital's modern highlights and historic rlandmark sites which have been lost but to memory. The game can be played in teams and lasts between four to six hours, which includes a snack and or lunch.

As they play, the teams are given tasks to complete and riddles to solve on their way through Warsaw.

According to Tomira Kudła, coordinator of Enigma Warsaw, "No other city on Earth is more predestined to host this game than Warsaw."

The name of the game ("mystery" in Greek) refers to the cipher used by the Nazis during World War II, which was broken by Polish cryptologists Rejewski, Różycki and Zygalski. Staypoland's choice of name was, in part, a tribute to them.

Corporate teams as well as self-organized groups are welcomed to take part. The particulars of the game can be customized according to request and need. Options include a Polish alcohol tasting, visits to museums, interiors of important buildings, competitive treasure hunts and other features.
