Game On Goes to Prague: The Ultimate Board Game Adventure!
In August 2025, PlayQuest brought together young people from Malta and Czechia for a week-long journey where games, creativity, and culture collided. Participants explored Prague, connected with fellow gamers, and dived into the exciting world of board game innovation.For one unforgettable week, ten Maltese and ten Czech participants came together in the heart of Europe. Through board games, entrepreneurship, and creative challenges, they connected, collaborated, and developed new skills while experiencing the magic of Prague.
The programme combined immersive activities such as escape games, scavenger hunts, and hands-on workshops with industry leaders, giving participants a chance to test their problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity in real-world settings. They gained fresh inspiration for how games can shape business, education, and social change.
PlayQuest was a shared adventure of learning, discovery, and lasting connections.
