Mokotów Academy of Fears invites you to a family adventure

A great quarrel has broken out at the Academy of Fears. Witches, ghosts, vampires and monsters cannot reach an agreement, which has brought preparations for the anniversary gala to a standstill. Families will come to the rescue, taking part in a free urban game in Mokotów on 30 October. Anniversary in danger The Academy of Fears is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. For this occasion, the inhabitants of the extraordinary realm are preparing the Great Night of Fears, the most important event of the year. Unfortunately, just before the gala, a serious conflict broke out. Witches, vampires, ghosts and monsters have quarrelled over their role in organising the anniversary. Each group believes that it is their contribution that matters most. As a result, the decorations have not been finished, the music has fallen silent, and the Academy's anniversary book remains closed. Director Dracula knows that he cannot solve the problem alone. That is why he is calling on families from Warsaw for help. A family mission in Mokotów On 30 October at 4:00 p.m. at the Pasaż Plac Unii, the "Mokotów Academy of Fears" will begin – a free family urban game full of riddles, mysterious characters and unusual challenges. Participants will visit successive points connected with the preparations for the anniversary gala, meet the inhabitants of the Academy and help them resolve conflicts. Tasks requiring perceptiveness, creativity, a good memory and cooperation will await the teams. The most important goal will remain the same: to reconcile the quarrelling inhabitants of the Academy and save the Great Night of Fears. A cinematic finale and extra points for a costume The culmination of the Mokotów adventure will be a grand, cinematic-style awards gala. That is when participants will find out whether their actions have helped restore harmony in the world of fears. The organisers also encourage preparing Halloween costumes. Outfits inspired by the world of witches, ghosts, vampires or other fantastic characters will earn extra points for the team. Sweet gifts and pumpkins for the anniversary gala Participants will also be greeted by sweet gifts provided by the Wawel brand and pumpkins from Sigma Fresh connected with one of the Halloween surprises. What will the inhabitants of the Academy need them for? The family teams will find out during the game! Fun for the whole family The game has been designed with families with children in mind. No supernatural skills are needed. Every participant will be able to use their strengths and help their team succeed. In addition to good fun, the event also carries an important message: even after the biggest quarrel, it is worth talking to each other, listening to others and looking for solutions together.
