Case 004 · Prague

The Thirteenth Sign

Victor Kral, a researcher, disappeared while searching for a hidden pattern across Prague. He believed twelve signs scattered through the Old Town pointed to something he called the Thirteenth Sign. His notes end before he says what it is.

Your investigation

You take over his unfinished work. The manuscripts lead you through the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, where clocks, statues, Hebrew symbols, medieval towers and old house signs each hold a piece of the pattern.

Every challenge needs the city itself. The manuscript tells you where to look; the answer is always in something that really stands in Prague — carved, painted, counted or placed in a particular order. Eight challenges, one thread.

The places, the clocks, the architecture and Prague's legends are real and researched. Victor Kral, his manuscripts and the investigation are fiction.

Comfortable shoes

The route follows the cobbled streets of the Old Town, crosses Charles Bridge and returns to the Powder Gate.

03

Daylight helps

You can play at any hour, but several challenges depend on reading detail on façades and statues.

04

No booking

No guide, no fixed hour, no group. You start whenever it suits you.

05

No entry fees

Everything you have to observe is visible from the street. You never need to go inside a building.

Game language

English for now. This page is in English, Slovenian, Czech and Slovak.

Getting there

The game starts on Old Town Square.

In front of the Astronomical Clock, in the heart of the Old Town. No ticket desk and no guide — stand far enough back to see the figures beside the astronomical dial, and open the app.

01

By metro

Line A, Staroměstská station. From there it is about a five-minute walk to Old Town Square.

02

On foot from the main station

About 1.5 km from Praha hlavní nádraží — 15 to 20 minutes through the Old Town.

03

From the airport

The square is open at every hour and no step of the case depends on opening times — you can start whenever you like. Open the start point in Maps.
