Ашхабад
Ashgabat knows the answer
Walk the route, find the code on site, type it in — the next level opens.

How it works
The code on the street is the only key
Not a GPS check-in and not an «I'm here» button: the game is built so there is no way to finish it without leaving home.
Pick a route
Kilometres, minutes, number of points, district and difficulty are on the card — before your first step. Nothing to install: the route opens in your phone's browser.
Walk to the point
The screen shows a short story of the place and a task: what exactly to look for here. Every point is a public place out on the street; you walk between them on foot.
Find the code on site
A year on the pediment, a word off a brass plaque, the number of figures above an arch. A code like this can't be looked up from home — only seen with your own eyes.
Type it in — the next level opens
A typo costs nothing: case, е/ё and extra spaces all count. The right code, and on to the next point.
Hints cost time, not money
Stuck at a point — take a hint: first a nudge, then one that narrows the place, then the direct answer. Each step adds penalty minutes to your rating time — that's all. A hint can't be bought, and a level can always be skipped so you keep going.
Catalog
Routes — Ашхабад
Free and paid sit in one list. Kilometres, minutes, number of points and district are on the card — before you decide to go.

No routes match this filter yet
The catalog is still small: Ашхабад has only a few routes, and not every filter combination finds one. Reset the filter and see everything there is.
Honest about the state: the game engine is still being finished, so playing the routes opens a little later. Everything else on the route pages is real — the metadata, the prices and the rating.
What's different
Four decisions we won't take back
Not a list of perks, but the lines the product won't cross.
Paid quest tours ask for money before the first impression
Free routes here are complete, not a three-level teaser. On a paid route the first level is always open, and the price is right there on the card.
City games demand a team, a fee and a Saturday on the calendar
Our default is one person with a phone the moment they feel like heading out. Company is an option, not an entry condition.
Usually you learn the format only after paying
Kilometres, minutes, number of points, district, difficulty and «with kids», «with a stroller» marks are visible before the first step. If a route isn't for you, that's clear for free.
Products rarely admit what they don't have yet
We say it plainly: the game engine is being finished, payment isn't connected, and account sign-in is optional and only for a name in the rating.
Rating
Fastest across the city
Rating time is your completion time plus penalty minutes for hints. A confirmed location gets a badge, but no rank advantage at all.
Signing in isn't required: a result counts without an account too — in the table it's signed «Guest». Yandex ID sign-in is only there to keep the result under your name.
Questions
What people usually ask
Do I need to register?
No. Not a single required field before the start: the route opens from a link in your phone's browser. Yandex ID sign-in is offered only after the finish, and only to keep your result in the rating under your name instead of «Guest». Without signing in the result still counts.
How much does it cost?
A free route is free in full, not «the first three levels». On a paid route the first level is always free, the price is on the card and is charged per team, not per person. Payment on the site isn't connected yet — when it is, buying won't create an account.
Alone or in a group?
By default — one person with a phone: no gathering a team, no fee, no schedule. A group works too: one reads the story, another looks for the code. Either way, a paid route's price is one per team.
Can I go with kids?
Every route card carries «with kids» and «with a stroller» marks — honest, not promotional. All points are outdoors, in public places: nothing to sneak into, no intercoms to ring, no stairwells to enter. Check the kilometres and time too — they're right there.
What if I can't find the code?
That's what hints are for: first a nudge, then one that narrows the place, then the direct answer. Each step adds penalty minutes to your rating time — and only that. A hint can't be bought and it never blocks progress. If it really won't come, a level can be skipped: the route goes on, and the result marks it honestly.
What if the point is gone?
The city changes: a plaque comes down, a building closes for restoration, a courtyard gets locked. For that, the level is skipped and can be reported — the route is fixed on such signals. The game doesn't end because a point disappeared.
Pick a route and head out
No account, no app, no company, no Saturday on the calendar. You need a phone charged at least halfway and a couple of hours for the city.
