Read the full experience

The city opens like a riddle: sun on whitewashed walls, the call of vendors muffled behind a stone arch, and a smartphone screen that turns narrow alleys into chapters. Players slip into Rabat’s medina with the voice of Lalla Tahra in their ear, following clues that push past the kasbah gates and into quiet courtyards where jasmine edges the path.
