Torun: Spy-Themed Walk & Game with Host

Discover Torun Through a Spy-Themed Adventure with Undercover City Games

Imagine wandering through a picturesque Polish town, solving puzzles, and completing secret missions—all while soaking up the sights and stories of Torun. That’s exactly what this spy-themed walk and game promises. Hosted by Undercover City Games, this experience offers a playful twist on sightseeing, turning a typical walk into a lively, interactive challenge.

What we love about this experience is its blend of local storytelling, engaging tasks, and the chance to explore hidden corners of Torun that many visitors might overlook. Plus, the fun for groups is hard to beat — whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or colleagues. A potential snag? It’s not a guided tour in the conventional sense, so you’ll need to be comfortable following the route independently. This makes it ideal for self-starters who enjoy a bit of independence but want a fun, guided structure.

This activity suits curious travelers, puzzle lovers, families with older kids, or groups seeking an active way to see Torun. If you’re after a more traditional sightseeing experience, this might not be your first choice, but for a memorable, playful adventure, it hits the spot.
