Description
An escape game inspired by the true story of the Budějovice smugglers and agent-walkers Jan Mašek and Jaroslav Kaska. "Enter the conspiracy apartment at the beginning of 1950 and get to the West! Besides courage, a sharp mind, and good teammates, you don't need anything else. However, knowledge of conspiracy principles and modern history may come in handy. Danger lurks everywhere, and the State Security is tightening the noose; there is little time left to escape to freedom!" With the arrival of a new totality in 1948, many citizens of Czechoslovakia were unwilling to come to terms with it and decided to actively resist, whether by spreading anti-communist literature, providing information to Western intelligence services, smuggling, or becoming so-called agent-walkers. Cooperation with Western powers was often motivated by reasons other than patriotism; nevertheless, active anti-regime resistance in the 1950s is an overlooked phenomenon that most of contemporary Czech society associates only with a few well-known names, such as Josef Hasil and the Mašín brothers. Among the hundreds and thousands of people who at least attempted to resist the communist regime in the 1950s were two young friends from Budějovice, Jaroslav Kaska and Jan Mašek. They became some of the most successful Western agents and smugglers. Accessibility: The game is suitable for 1–4 players. It does not require physical strength.
