KURT GÖDEL CODE

The trail with the secrets of the Brno genius Kurt Gödel, full of logical ciphers, tasks and hidden nooks and crannies

Do you like to solve ciphers and log­i­cal tasks? Do you like chal­lenges? Won­der­ing how to enter­tain your chil­dren (even teenagers!) dur­ing the lock­down and spend a pleas­ant time with them?

We have arranged 20 entrances for you to the out­door cipher trail of the VIDA! amuse­ment park, just for you. It will take you through the streets of Brno by fol­low­ing the foot­steps of sci­en­tist Kurt Gödel. It is pre­pared for fam­i­lies with chil­dren from the age of 8 as well as for teams of indi­vid­u­als or room­mates.

What to look forward to?

Togeth­er you will solve a lot of fun and chal­leng­ing tasks and dis­cov­er the secrets that this impor­tant logi­cian and friend of Albert Ein­stein left in his home­town. Grad­u­al­ly you will vis­it sev­er­al places in the city cen­tre.

By solv­ing the cipher and enter­ing the cor­rect pass­word into the web appli­ca­tion you will find out where the next chal­lenge is. With each cipher solved, you get clos­er to solv­ing a mys­te­ri­ous case. There are hints in sev­er­al lev­els pre­pared for less expe­ri­enced puz­zlers (or impa­tients). It will be up to you how dif­fi­cult the path to your des­ti­na­tion you choose. Suc­cess­ful solvers will reveal the sur­pris­ing secret of Kurt Gödel!
