You step off the tram into a street that remembers different centuries at once: tile-roofed apartment blocks from the Austro-Hungarian boom, interwar façades painted in soft pastels, and graffiti-tagged alleys where cafés have claimed corners. The game’s web app places a riddle in your hand, and the neighborhoods—Vinohrady’s broad boulevards, Žižkov’s steeper lanes, Vršovice’s working-class pockets—push you forward, revealing small squares, quiet parks and unexpected viewpoints over the city’s rooftops.

History
Vinohrady developed in the late 19th century as a planned residential district for Prague’s growing middle class; Žižkov has a working-class, rebellious history reflected in its dense street pattern and independent culture.
Conservation
These neighborhoods are lived-in urban environments—stay on paths, avoid littering, and support small businesses rather than leaving graffiti or waste.
