Your mission

Athens was once a city where gods and mythological creatures shaped everyday life. But as centuries passed, they faded… and slowly disappeared.

For one last night, they leave behind traces of their presence across the modern city, hoping someone will find them.

As Myth Hunters, your role is to track them down, before it’s too late.

Exploring Athens after sunset, each discovery brings you closer to reviving what has been forgotten.

We discovered many cool mythology facts, and the atmosphere at night is so nice to explore. Maelle our game master made the experience very enjoyable. Perfect mix of fun and discovery.

Exploring the city at night with the map and UV flashlight is a unique experience. We kept discovering hidden places we would’ve never noticed. Fun, original, and easy to follow even without knowing anything about mythology.

We tried this on our last day and loved it. It’s interactive, surprising, and really different from a classic tour. Our teenagers even had a better time than on the Acropolis. The invisible symbols part makes it feel like a secret mission!
