Hidden Stories – A car for the Emperor
This outdoor quest will take you to the early 20th century. An order from the Emperor is a dream job for the company Petera. If they can’t make it on time it will become a nightmare. While the mobile application navigates you through the game, you and your children work on changing the course of history.
The first Czech car arrived in Vienna in 1898 and was faster that those produced by Austrian manufacturers, which caused a lot of unease and envy. It is now the year 1908 and the sons of the late factory owner Petera want to make their way onto the still developing automobile market with their car bodies. The company’s great chance is an order for the Imperial Court – production of a car for the 60th anniversary of the reign of Franz Joseph I. But time and specific requirements of the Imperial Chancellor are in the way.
This outdoor quest is designed mainly for families with children over 5 years of age, but the charm lies in the fact that it will entertain adults, too. It starts at Kozi placek Square, where the Petera company’s workshop used to stand. It follows to Kalvarie and then via the town centre and palace park to the winter sports stadium.
The walk is 1.9 km in length and you only need comfortable shoes and a Smartphone with the application called Hidden Treasures, which can be downloaded free from Google Play or iTunes. The application will guide you and show your position. The factory owner Petera’s story will be presented at each stopover. You can download the data pack with the map and audio at home, so you don’t need mobile data during the quest.
