FAQ
Where can I start the game?
For “The Kaunas Wizard” we recommend starting at the Dominican Monastery (Vilniaus g. 31), but you can also start at any of the mission's other task locations, and you can complete the tasks in any order.
How many phones does a team need?
Each team needs one phone with the “City Mission” app installed. Make sure the phone is well charged before playing — the game uses the map, GPS, and camera, so the battery may drain faster than usual.

Teams of all sizes have played the game — from 1 to 5 players. We recommend 2–4 players. Most tasks are more fun to solve together, and it's easier to share ideas and spot clues as a team.

Yes. The game is great for families with kids. We recommend that younger players play together with an adult — the tasks are designed so the whole family can look for solutions together.
