How it works
It’s very simple — a Telegram bot will be your guide.

Launch the bot

Open the LocalesBA bot in Telegram and choose a route. The bot will tell you the starting point — the place where the story begins. Come whenever it’s convenient and press START in the bot.
Walk from point to point
The quest is a mix of questions, answers, and stories. Read the task and walk from question to question — and from one location to the next. You can pause, rest in a café, come back tomorrow — it’s all at your pace!
Find answers
Look for answers in the surroundings, deep in your memory and intuition — or, in rare cases, quickly google what you need. Send your answer to the bot.
The correct answer
The bot checks your answer. If it’s wrong, you have two options: keep searching or ask the bot for the correct answer. Your choice — the main thing is to enjoy it!
