City Games for Companies — The Best Options in 5 Polish Cities
Published on 26.08.2026A city game is one of the most effective formats for corporate team building — it engages the whole team, encourages cooperation in small groups and gives participants a reason to explore the city differently from an ordinary tourist. We have been organising corporate team-building events in Poland since 2006, and city games are among the most frequently chosen formats in every city where we operate. Below you will find detailed descriptions of 3 real city games from Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Poznań — including exactly what each one involves.
Warsaw
The Secret of Warsaw City Game
This is a professional team-building experience based on discovering Warsaw together, completing tasks and uncovering fascinating facts under the supervision of experienced coordinators. Participants get the chance to see what Warsaw used to be like and how it is changing today, while experiencing the contrasts of the city’s busy centre. The group is divided into teams that work together on team-building tasks, and each team receives an envelope with a map and game instructions. All teams complete the same tasks, but each starts in a different location and follows a different sequence, eliminating queues at the same points. Challenges include learning the steps of the Polonaise, playing three-card monte with a Warsaw con artist, building a tower together with a construction worker, admiring the city panorama from the Palace of Culture and Science, and taking a ride in a vintage Nysa van. The game is prepared individually each time, with careful attention to details tailored to the specific group. Additional options include, among others, meeting an executioner in the Giga Maze, playing Dreidel, sending a secret code in Morse code and gingerbread-making workshops.

No Way Out City Game
This spy-themed game involves a team divided into groups of 4–6 people, each receiving a folder with a map and having to complete an assigned mission. The story begins with travel documents being stolen from a hotel, followed by one of the team members being kidnapped straight from the street in broad daylight — a sign that the enemies have finally caught up with the participants. With limited time and only a few places to hide, the team must offer its services to one of the underground spy factions fighting for control of Warsaw. The factions cannot protect the team for long, but they can arrange new documents and identities that will allow it to disappear — as long as the price is right. The team’s mission is to complete a variety of tasks around the city and earn enough money to pay for the new identities. The whole game takes the form of a race against time, with every task bringing the team closer to a safe escape. The game can be personalised to suit a company’s specific preferences — for example, the playing time can be extended, personalised storylines can be added or gift sets can be provided for an additional fee.
Warsaw Puzzle City Game
This is an interactive city game played a short distance from Piłsudski Square, in which the team is divided into smaller groups of 5–6 people who take on a range of challenges. Teams work through successive tasks using maps, codes and clues, earning points for every completed challenge — the faster they are, the more points they get. The game follows a clearly defined route: it starts in Bohdan Wodiczko Park behind the Chopin Museum, where participants receive training and complete two warm-up tasks based on codes and ciphers. The next stops are the Golden Duck Monument by the Ostrogski Castle (an augmented-reality task connected with a local legend), the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument, the Evangelical-Augsburg Church with a short Chopin-related task, and the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, where participants learn about the history of Poland’s first president through paintings of famous works of art. The game ends in the Saxon Garden, where participants first discover the history of the garden and its connections with Chopin using codes and elements of the park, before taking on the final challenge that brings the game to a close. The whole experience is supported by a mobile app which uses GPS to guide players to successive points along the route, with the pace and intensity adjustable to suit the group.

Kraków
Kraków, City of Kings City Game
This medieval city game takes participants back 700 years to royal Kraków — a time when the capital was on the threshold of development and the team must help Casimir the Great build the city and country for future generations. Equipped with retro maps, cards and props, participants take on the challenges of a medieval student, a burgher dancer and a fearsome executioner, discovering the customs and flavours of old Kraków along the way. The game scenario includes a variety of tasks testing the team’s cooperation and creativity — including learning a secret code, “multiplying capital” and making it through a labyrinth in one of Kraków’s gates. The group is divided into teams of 5–8 people, each following its own route; the winning team is the one that collects the most points. The game works particularly well for groups that want to combine sightseeing in the Old Town with competition based on local history, rather than simply taking a dry guided tour. Additional options include learning the Polonaise with a dancer, building the Tower of Power, Giga Puzzle with an executioner and gingerbread-making workshops. The entire game is led by coordinators who supervise its progress at every stage.

Hidden in the Shadows City Game
This spy-themed city game involves a team divided into groups of 4–6 people, each receiving a folder with the map needed to complete its assigned mission. The story centres on Kraków’s leading circle of spies, which has been attacked by high-ranking officials seeking to minimise its activities and expand their own sphere of influence. The agents have been ordered to leave the city under threat of consequences, so they are now hiding and urgently need help — which is why, in their darkest hour, they turn to the game’s participants, known in the story as the subtle and effective “Shadow Runners”. The team’s mission is to complete a variety of tasks scattered around the city, which together are intended to save a powerful spy agency from collapse. The game puts participants in the role of secret agents working under time pressure, making it a great format for building tension and cooperation in small groups. Like the other story-driven games in this series, Hidden in the Shadows can be personalised — the playing time can be extended, customised storylines can be added or gift sets can be provided for an additional individually priced fee. It is a good choice for teams that prefer a clearly defined spy storyline to purely historical sightseeing.

Magical Kazimierz City Game
The main aim of this game is to combine competition with discovering the challenges of the many cultures that coexisted for centuries in Kraków’s Kazimierz district. The game reveals a less majestic and more authentic side of Kraków — street artists, old Jewish stories and the atmosphere of a commercial suburb create a multicultural setting full of contrasts and intriguing puzzles. Along the route, participants meet, among others, Saint Stanislaus and a noble insurgent, learn fragments of the history connected with Jan Karski, and encounter a mysterious figure “from the afterlife”, who adds an element of surprise to the game. The group is divided into teams of 5–8 people, each setting off in its own direction — the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. This format works particularly well for groups interested in Kraków’s multicultural history, rather than just the classic sights of the Old Town. As with other Kraków city games, additional options such as Polonaise lessons, Giga Puzzle with an executioner, Dreidel and gingerbread-making workshops can be added for an extra fee. The whole game takes place under the supervision of coordinators who ensure its smooth running and the safety of participants.

Wrocław
The Dwarves Association City Game
This is an interactive city game built around Wrocław’s gnomes — not only the charming sculptures scattered throughout the city, but also the fictional Secret Dwarfs Association, founded by a group of activist gnomes whose goal is to protect Wrocław’s history, legends and cultural heritage. In the story, a young and ambitious gnome receives an invitation to a recruitment meeting for this mysterious association — but the meeting turns out to be much more than an ordinary selection process. The team is divided into smaller groups of 5–6 people who face various challenges using maps, codes and clues along the route. The game starts at Nowy Targ Square, takes participants through Ostrów Tumski and the university district, and ends with a series of challenges in the Old Town. Example tasks include finding a hidden “treasure” and deciphering an encrypted password, building a tower out of wooden blocks and keeping it standing independently for a specified period, decoding a message from signal flags, and solving a padlock puzzle on a bridge by identifying the missing “partners” in pairs. The whole game is supported by a mobile app which uses GPS to guide players to successive points, with the pace and intensity adjustable to suit the group. The price includes a set of original tasks, all necessary materials and props, animators and an event coordinator; for an additional fee, the game can be conducted in English.

Following The Trail of The Dwarfs City Game
This game was created in cooperation with Wrocław’s smallest residents — the dwarfs — and has participants searching for Wrocław’s gnome figurines during a race and discovering the secrets they hide. Along the way, teams face additional tasks of varying difficulty, with participants deciding whether to choose easier or harder challenges — the main goal is to collect as many points as possible. Each team sets off from a map of Wrocław’s Market Square, while the Game Master supervises the game and evaluates completed tasks, staying in constant contact with participants via the Messenger app. The game lasts 1.5 hours, including 60 minutes of actual gameplay, and participants are divided into teams of 5–10 people. It is an unusual and engaging way to explore the city while bringing the group together, combining competition with the real discovery of Wrocław’s urban space. The price includes 1.5 hours of gameplay, supervision by the Game Master, area maps with tasks and prizes for the winners. The game can also be organised in English for an additional fee.

Mysteries of Wrocław City Game
This three-hour experience turns Wrocław’s Old Town into a real-life game board, with individual locations around the city serving as clues that help participants crack the code needed to complete the game. The teams’ main task is to finish the game as quickly as possible, which requires a special code capable of stopping the clock — the code must be entered on a dedicated website to officially end the game. To obtain the materials needed to decipher the code, teams explore the streets around Wrocław’s Market Square, searching for answers to a series of questions, while game cards featuring photographs guide them to the correct locations. Once all the puzzle pieces have been collected, the team moves on to the final stage — calculating the code and logging into the website to officially stop the game clock. The team that logs in first wins, although right up until the final moment no team can be sure that another has not overtaken it. The game takes place in the heart of Wrocław’s historic centre, including Poland’s largest Market Square with its Gothic Town Hall, the Hansel and Gretel tenements, and the area around the cathedral on Ostrów Tumski. The price includes preparation of the route and game programme, a game leader, division into teams, puzzles for each team and an event coordinator.

Gdańsk
Pirate City Game
This game takes participants back to 1473, when they become pirates from Gdańsk — and, according to the attraction’s description, the storyline is based on events that really happened. After a victorious expedition to England, the crew looted a valuable treasure — Hans Memling’s painting The Last Judgement — and the ship reached its home port of Gdańsk the day before. Today, however, both the treasure and some of the crew members have disappeared, so the team must venture deep into 15th-century Gdańsk to recover the stolen loot. Participants are divided into teams of 7–10 people, each following its own route and earning points towards victory. Along the way, the group passes Gdańsk’s most important Old Town landmarks, such as the Crane, the former Marketplaces and the famous Długa Street, while also learning about beer rituals and old Gdańsk units of measurement — provided they complete all the tasks assigned to them first. This format perfectly combines sightseeing in Gdańsk’s historic centre with adventure and team competition. Additional options include Polonaise lessons, Giga Puzzle with an executioner, Dreidel and gingerbread-making workshops for an extra fee.

On the Trail of Solidarity City Game
This game takes participants back to the 1980s and places the story around the Gdańsk Shipyard, where the team must help the Solidarity movement with its activities. Using maps and clues scattered across the area, teams reach opposition activists, workers and people connected with the authorities of the time, in order to prove that they too have “the spirit of freedom”. The game’s main objective is to assemble the scattered parts of Solidarity’s secret symbol and be the first team to present it to the world. The game takes place around the former Gdańsk Shipyard, and along the route participants encounter characters from the 1980s, remnants of the old shipyard and elements of legends associated with the Solidarity movement. The group is divided into brigades of 7–10 people, each independently deciding on its route through the game area — the brigade that assembles and submits the Solidarity symbol fastest wins. This game combines team entertainment with the real and important history of Gdańsk and Poland, making it particularly valuable for groups interested in recent history rather than just light-hearted competition. Additional options such as Polonaise lessons, Giga Puzzle with an executioner and gingerbread-making workshops can be added at separately calculated prices.

Mysterious Radar City Game
This spy-themed game takes place in Sopot as part of an offer covering the entire Gdańsk and Tricity area. The team is divided into groups of 4–6 people and receives a folder with the map needed to complete its assigned mission. The story centres on a powerful spy syndicate torn apart by an internal struggle for power that threatens to destroy it. While the rivals’ attention is focused elsewhere, the team’s superiors send it into the heart of their stronghold — Sopot — to carry out a series of high-priority surveillance tasks while maintaining complete discretion. The team’s mission is to infiltrate enemy territory and complete tasks scattered around the city, with the entire game taking place under time pressure — the clock starts ticking from the very first minute. This format works well for teams that enjoy competition with an element of tension and mystery, rather than simply taking a relaxed tour of the city. Like the other story-driven games in this series, Mysterious Radar can be personalised to suit a company’s preferences — the playing time can be extended, personalised storylines can be added or gift sets can be provided for an additional fee. The price includes a set of original tasks, all necessary materials and props, an event coordinator, certificates and a prize for the winning team; for an additional fee, the game can be conducted in English.

Poznań
Project X City Game
This is another spy-themed game in which the team — divided into groups of 4–6 people — receives a folder with the map needed to complete its assigned mission. The story is based on the fact that for many years every major spy syndicate in Europe, including the one the team works for, has been keeping an eye on the increasingly powerful and influential city of Poznań. Taking control of the city is not easy, however — its residents are stubborn and the authorities are vigilant and effective. That is why the team’s superiors devise “Project X” and send their best people to carry it out. The team’s mission is to complete a variety of tasks scattered around the city, which together are intended to help the agency take control of Poznań. The game puts the team in the role of secret agents working under pressure to complete their mission, effectively building cooperation and competition between smaller groups within one larger team. Like the other story-driven games in this series, Project X can be personalised to suit a company’s preferences — the game time can be extended, custom storylines can be added or gift sets can be provided for an additional individually priced fee. It is a good option for groups that prefer a light spy-themed storyline to purely historical sightseeing.
The Goat Challenge City Game
This is an interactive city game built around Poznań’s Goats — a symbol of the city that has served as a guardian of Poznań’s history, legends and everyday life for over 450 years. In the story, the Billy Goats begin to worry that knowledge of the city’s history and culture may disappear over time, so they decide to “face” this challenge and put teams of employees through a series of trials. The tasks test participants’ knowledge of Poznań’s past and present, as well as their teamwork and creative problem-solving skills, while also refreshing their knowledge of local stories and legends. The game route takes teams through four districts of Poznań: Śródka, Ostrów Tumski, Chwaliszewo and the Old Town. Along the way, they receive clues from Capri Corny — a virtual goat guide to the game. The entire experience is supported by a dedicated mobile app that guides teams to specific locations, provides tasks and hints, and gives access to real-time scoring and a leaderboard visible to all participants. The game lasts 2–2.5 hours, making it a substantial programme block for an afternoon or a morning before the rest of the event. The price includes a set of original tasks, all necessary materials and props, and an event coordinator; for an additional fee, the game can be conducted in English.

City Game I — Poznań
This city game tests participants’ knowledge of Poznań, challenging them to use their creativity and quick thinking to solve successive puzzles as quickly as possible. Teams choose for themselves which of the available puzzles seem most intriguing, travel to the indicated location, activate the task on-site and earn points for completing it. An additional thrill comes from the live scoreboard, which shows how the other teams taking part are performing — the game mechanics are simple, but the tasks are not necessarily so. The game is played using an iPad, giving it a more modern, technology-focused character compared with classic games using a paper map. The aim of the entire game is to collect achievements and compete for points between teams, while the interactive leaderboard, chat and mobile “pranks” further help bring the teams together during the game. It is a good option for teams that prefer a more digital and dynamic city-game format to the traditional paper-map version. Additional options such as Polonaise lessons, Giga Puzzle with an executioner and gingerbread-making workshops can be added for a separately calculated fee.
How to Choose a City Game for Your Team
It is worth starting your choice of city game with the type of storyline. Some games are based on the real local history of the city, such as Kraków, City of Kings, Mysteries of Wrocław or On the Trail of Solidarity in Gdańsk, while others use a universal spy storyline that can easily be transferred to any city, such as No Way Out in Warsaw, Hidden in the Shadows in Kraków, Mysterious Radar in Sopot or Project X in Poznań. It is also worth considering the technical format. Some games use classic paper maps and envelopes with tasks, while others rely on a GPS-enabled mobile app, such as The Dwarves Association City Game or Warsaw Puzzle, or on iPads, such as City Game I — Poznań.
