An autumn campus, the UW Library Gardens and hidden challenges you probably will not find in your syllabus.

UW Side Quest is a campus game that will take you across the Main Campus and the UW Library Gardens. Along the way, you will discover fun facts about the University of Warsaw and take on challenges at checkpoints run by volunteers.

Along the way, you can expect:

• some of UW’s less obvious spots (for example, where to grab something to eat),
• university fun facts,
• challenges requiring creativity, clever thinking and teamwork,
• competition with other teams,
• a chance to meet new people.

You do not need to know the campus or the history of UW – you will discover everything during the game. You do not need to have a team ready either – we will help match participants on the day. However, if you would like to be in a team with a specific person or people, let us know in your registration email.

All you need is curiosity, a good team and the willingness to take on a little autumn side quest. 🍂
