A higher principle – geolocation game in Příbram

Imagine that you are students of the sixth Příbram gymnasium. During the difficult time of the Second World War, the class group is closed, your classmate Tonda Stočes has been absent from school for several days, and the circumstances of his absence are becoming suspicious.

The navigation game will guide you through the historic center of Příbram and you can download it for free from the Google Play or App Store. The story is based on real events that took place at the Příbram gymnasium during the Heydrich period.
They happened in 1942. Antonín Stočes, sextant at the time, discovered a photograph of Adolf Hitler in a magazine, which he tore out and threw away with the words “It doesn’t belong here!”. This did not escape the attention of his classmate Červenka, a repeater who failed the class and, in an effort to at least somehow stand out, cooperated with Octaván Kepka, a zealous and newly minted German citizen. That’s how the incident got to the German authorities. As the story developed, the navigation game responds to this. The event became widely known in the short story Vyšší principe by the writer Jan Drda, a former student of the Příbram grammar school.

The geolocation mobile game was developed by students of Příbram Gymnasium as part of the Erasmus+ project. The game works offline and can be started at any place in the historic part of Příbram. After turning on the GPS navigation, the compass and the distance indicator will guide you to the nearest station with the task. The story includes a total of 12 stops with tasks, the completion of which will give you digits for the final coordinate of the final station. At each location you will learn a part of Antonín Stočes’ story, at the finish line all parts of the story will fit together and you will find out what happened to Tonda.

Game time is approximately two hours. All tasks can be completed from Monday to Sunday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in summer time and 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. in winter time. You can also find the application in an English version under the name Higher Principle.
