"Tomorrow we hit the city for the last time. Before the bells at Petrov ring noon, Brno must be ours. If not, we will retreat." - thus spoke the Swedish General Torstenson in the spring of 1645, when he had unsuccessfully besieged Brno for 4 long months. And that was after he thought he would sew up a victory within a week. Indeed, in the fortress of Špilberk in Brno there were 400 soldiers and he arrived with 18 thousand! The conquest of Brno meant very much to him - it was the only thing in the path to besieging Vienna.

So that you know what to expect
The game is designed for 2-5-member teams. It was created primarily for adult players, but children (10+) are also able to participate in partial tasks. The game is also suited for teams with stroller, but it requires light help from teammates - you will meet a few steps along the way.
Light game (the game is a good start in a world of cipher games, for the more experienced players serves as a nice warmup or a walk)
We believe that you can manage the game at a comfortable pace within three hours (approximately 3.5 km).

Přinášíme druhou sadu nápaditých šifer pro žáky druhého stupně ZŠ. Úkoly učitelky Bájné se věnují řeckým bájím a pověstem a reáliím starověkého světa. Hra v 8 šifrách zprostředkuje svět bohů, demokracie nebo římských čísel.
Šifrování na svatbě? Proč? Správná otázka! Kdo by chtěl na svatbě zbytečně přemýšlet a příliš zaměstnávat mozek, že? Svatba má být časem radosti a bujaré zábavy. Možná vás to překvapí, ale šifry Cryptomania do této představy zcela zapadají. Těšte se na týmové úkoly plné svatební tematiky. Vše navíc podáno s osvěžující nadsázkou.
Dostali jsme hned několik poptávek na hru v přípravném týdnu. A rozhodli jsme se jít společnému štěstí naproti. Šifry milujeme a jsme opravdu rádi, když si chtějí luštěním těch našich, zpestřit svůj společný čas právě učitelé. Zároveň jsou často běžné náklady na realizaci hry mimo možnosti škol. A to se tímto mění.
