The Elixir of Life by Magister Kelly
The game begins at your home. Through three magical places full of ciphers and riddles it leads you step by step into the Ore Mountains — right to Na Malém Háji, where a well-earned reward awaits.
The adventure that brings you to us
Magister Edward Kelly, the celebrated alchemist to Rudolf II, concealed his greatest discovery in the Ore Mountains centuries ago — the recipe for the elixir of eternal youth.
The Elixir of Life is a unique location-based game whose story begins at home — and leads you through three magical places step by step to our retreat at Na Malém Háji. At each stop a riddle awaits, and only after solving it will you learn where to head next. The game works directly with real locations and their mysteries. At the end, a reward in the form of a perfect escape from everyday life awaits.
Everything you will need on the journey — letters, ciphers, tools and instructions for each stop — is in the game backpack, which we will send by post or which you can collect in person in Prague.
Whoever seeks the elixir of eternal youth must first travel the road into the unknown. The clues will guide you. Trust them.
Magister Edward Kelly, alchemist to Rudolf II
From the first cipher to the final revelation
Every step brings you closer to the goal. The adventure has no time limit — set off whenever it suits you.
The game backpack arrives at yours
By post or personal collection in Prague, you receive a package with everything you'll need on the journey — a mysterious letter from Magister Kelly, ciphers, tools and instructions for each stop.
The story begins at your home
You uncover the first clues before you even set off. They tell you where to head first — and the adventure can begin.
Three stops at magical places
Each location is a beautiful and slightly mysterious place — on the route from Prague towards the Ore Mountains. At each one you search for answers that reveal where to go next.
Destination: Na Malém Háji
The clues lead you directly to us in the Ore Mountains. On arrival the final chapter of the story awaits — and an invitation to the magical dwelling in the heart of the mountains.
Well-earned rest
Finnish sauna, fireplace, silence and a starry sky free of light pollution. The adventure has become a sanctuary. The elixir has been found.
It's about more than just a game
It's an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
An original experience
No two adventures are the same. The story is set at places that could genuinely be connected with Magister Kelly — and that are magical in their own right and well worth visiting.
A brilliant gift
Book a stay and the adventure as a surprise for someone you love. The recipient only finds out the destination at the very location — right up to the last moment they have no idea what awaits them.
At your own pace
The adventure has no time limit. Set off whenever it suits you. The clues will wait. Feel free to stop for lunch on the way — you'll receive recommendations from us.
For couples, families and children from age 10
The puzzles and ciphers are designed to entertain everyone. The game works brilliantly for couples and for families with children aged ten and over — everyone finds their role.
A journey that means something
Instead of an ordinary car journey you live a story. The three stops on the way from Prague to the Ore Mountains are each an experience in their own right — and only together do they reveal the full picture.
Special version: Marriage proposal
The game has an alternative ending — your partner plays and has no idea that at the end, instead of the elixir, the most important question of her life awaits. We handle everything, turnkey.
Na Malém Háji
Design tiny house in the Ore Mountains, 1.5 hours from Prague. Your personal sanctuary.
Design tiny house
Two king-size beds, fully equipped kitchen, fireplace and terrace overlooking the forest. Your own private space deep in nature.
Finnish sauna for two
A private sauna — the perfect end to any adventure. Warmth, silence and just the two of you.
Stars overhead
Far from light pollution. The Ore Mountains offer some of the darkest skies in the Czech Republic. Gaze at the stars from the same spot as Magister Kelly once did.
Honesty bar & themed hampers
Wine, beer, home-made spirits. Themed hampers with food and treats to order — so you have nothing to worry about.
Nature & silence
Forests, birdsong, the wind. Leave your mobile signal at the door. Here only nature holds sway.
1.5 hours from Prague
Far enough from the bustle. Close enough that you won't hesitate at the weekend.
The most original gift you can give
Do you know that feeling when you don't know what to give someone who already has everything? The Elixir of Life by Magister Kelly is not a thing — it is a story that the recipient lives for themselves.
The game is ideal as a birthday gift or simply to add something special to the journey to us. The recipient plays the whole time without knowing — unaware that at the end not only an adventure awaits, but also a stay in a magical place in the heart of the mountains.

The game that culminates in the most important question of your life
Your partner plays the adventure throughout — she visits three magical places, solves ciphers and searches for the recipe for the elixir of eternal youth. She has no idea that the true elixir is not to be found in the ancient writings of Magister Kelly, but in the heart of the man who faithfully accompanied her on the entire journey. At that moment, you take over — and ask the question.
And there is more. The tiny house where you will be staying has a direct view of the spot where the proposal took place — so you will have it in sight throughout your stay. Experience tells us that this means a great deal to women.
We take care of everything else: the script, logistics, and on request the romantic details at the destination too — flowers, prosecco, a themed hamper. Completely turnkey, without a worry.
