You step onto the broad terrace of Uppsala Castle and feel the city unfold: cobbled lanes drop toward the Fyris River, cathedral spires point to a sky that sometimes feels too close. The game begins here—your phone the only guide—as you chase clues that thread through public squares, past the Carolina Rediviva library and the echoing bell of the Gunilla Bell tower.
