We are a group of language students and we played the game with our teacher: a great and fun way to practise, and learn interesting stuff about our city that we didn't know.
Perfect with a group of A Level pupils. Loved it.
Quests for classes
A school day with Questo in Wrocław is built around one quest, Wroclaw: Legacy of old Breslau. It takes classes through the oldest parts of the city. Teams start on ulica Piłsudskiego, the street of Wrocław Główny station. They pass Ofiar Oświęcimskich, Plac Solny, the Yas House, the University and Nowy Targ, then cross the Oder to Piasek Island and Tumski Island, the oldest part of the city. The route comes back along bulwar Xawerego Dunikowskiego. It is pitched at pupils aged 8 to 11 (Key Stage 2), covers 5.2 km in about two and a half hours, and is available in English and Spanish.

How the city's old trading places, Plac Solny and Nowy Targ, and the Yas House fit into the story of old Breslau
Teams of 3 to 5 pupils share one phone.
Under-14s need one adult per 2 to 3 teams with agreed checkpoints. For 14 to 18, follow school policy. The Rynek is pedestrianised.
MPK Wrocław runs the trams.
Its bilet grupowy covers up to 15 people for 30 minutes, so a class needs two. Główny station to the Rynek is 20 to 25 minutes' walk.
City-run toilets, including one on Plac Solny by the Rynek, cost 1 zł per cubicle, usually in coins, and most open at 10:00.
Galeria Dominikańska and Renoma shopping centres have free toilets.
Wyspa Słodowa, an Oder island near the Rynek, is the centre's most popular picnic spot.
Bulwar Dunikowskiego, by Most Grunwaldzki, is quieter. Keep pupils back from the water's edge.
A Panorama Racławicka ticket also covers the National Museum's permanent galleries, which are free on Saturdays.
Galeria Dominikańska offers dry shelter. The quest can be replayed free within 30 days.
Caution: Pickpockets target Wrocław Główny station, crowded rush-hour trams and the Christmas Market, so team phones should stay in a zipped pocket between clues.

Urban geography of a river city on the Oder. Pupils cross between islands, squares and riverside boulevards and use the app's map to find their way between 15 stops.

In short
A school trip to Wroclaw with Questo is a self-guided city quest. Pupils in teams of 3 to 5 follow a route of 15 to 15 stops on foot, solving a puzzle at each, in 140 to 145 minutes. 1 quests suit classes aged 8 to 11. There is no guide and no time slot: the class starts when it arrives. The price is €5 per pupil, and teachers play free.
Pupils are an estimate: groups of four or more teams starting one quest together, at about four pupils a team, across all cities since 2018. Ratings are from players of these quests.
In a randomised study of 10,912 students, a single cultural trip raised critical thinking, tolerance and interest in culture weeks later.
458 Amsterdam pupils walked the medieval city in teams, solving tasks on phones at real locations. They learned more than classmates taught the same topic in lessons.

Across hundreds of studies, game-based learning beats non-game teaching on knowledge and retention; story and playing together are what make the difference.
