For a child you can't tear away from a screen, we turn the old town into a game map. The queen's balcony is the spawn point, the underground tunnel to the baths is a cave, the bronze townspeople are quest characters, and the angel who strikes the bell on the Gabriadze tower at 19:00 is a timed boss. Tasks earn experience points; at the end come a level and achievements. The styling follows the child's favourite game: blocks and crafting, an obby run or role-play levels.
What your child will do
- Plays through fifteen locations of the old town like a game map
- Earns experience points, a level and achievements
- Makes it to the “timed boss” — the angel on the Gabriadze tower
- Spends three hours without phone games — and doesn't notice

Children aged 8–13 who love video games and get bored on ordinary tours. It starts in the evening so as to reach the Gabriadze tower by seven; the walk includes climbs and an underground tunnel.
Questions
Which game do you style it after?
Whichever one the child loves: blocks and crafting, an obby run, role-play levels. Tell us in your request.
What if we fall behind schedule?
We shorten Meidan and the Patriarchate first; we never miss the Gabriadze tower at seven.
