The ghost of August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, still roams his beloved Dresden in this self-guided exploration game, eager to share his legacy with those bold enough to follow him. Solve real-world puzzles from the New Town Hall past the Frauenkirche, the Procession of Princes, the Zwinger and the Semperoper, across the Augustus Bridge to the Golden Rider and the Canaletto view.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3 km and takes around 2 hours, with no time limit.

Will you impress the proud spirit of August the Strong?
