An Unconventional Approach to Exploring Sopot
This experience isn’t your typical sightseeing tour. Instead, it’s a game-based adventure where you’re tasked with completing spy-related challenges at various points of interest around Sopot. Starting just outside the train station on ul. Dworcowa 7, you’re handed a game folder and materials, setting the stage for a mission that combines exploration, problem-solving, and a bit of friendly competition.
Unlike traditional guided walks, your host’s role is to provide the game materials, instructions, and support at the start, but then it’s up to you and your team(s) to navigate the route. This means you’ll need to manage your time, coordinate with your teammates, and pay attention to clues at each location. The format is flexible enough to suit families with kids, groups of friends, or even colleagues looking for a team-building activity.
The Route and Highlights
The 4 km route weaves through some of Sopot’s most interesting spots, combining well-known attractions with less obvious gems. The tour’s starting point outside Sopot Train Station is a natural hub, but from there, you’ll venture into the heart of the town, discovering iconic sights and secret spots.
