Self-Guided Secrets of Uppsala Exploration Game

In the scholarly heart of Uppsala, King Gustav Vasa faces a royal embarrassment. One errant cannon blast has sent his laurel wreath soaring through the air and out of sight, leaving the father of modern Sweden bareheaded and indignant.

Now he has drafted you, his newest and most unsuspecting student, to recover it. Follow his booming commands through ivy covered courtyards, along cobbled streets, and past centuries of history. From runaway squirrels to statues that seem to watch you, each clue brings you closer to restoring his crown of glory and perhaps earning a royal nod of approval.

You came to explore. You stayed to save the story.
