Terms of Service

Malmö Street Quest · last updated 1 September 2026

The short version. This is a free walking game run by one person as a hobby. Nothing is for sale. You walk around a real city, so your safety is your own responsibility. Be honest on the wall, be decent in messages, and understand that the whole thing may change or stop at any time.

You are walking through live traffic while looking for words on signs. Watch the road, not your phone. Nothing in this game is worth an accident.

1. Who provides this

Malmö Street Quest is provided by Vladimir Kosilko as a private individual, not a company. Contact: privacy@malmo.quest.

By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

2. Your safety is yours

The quest sends you walking to public places in Malmö. You are entirely responsible for yourself while you do it. In particular:

Checkpoints are in public space that other people control. A sign can be removed, covered or vandalised without warning, and the map can be out of date. Never take a risk to reach one.

3. It is free, and donations are gifts

The whole quest is free. There is no fee, no subscription, no locked content, and no checkout on this site.

If you follow the link to buy the organiser a coffee, that is a voluntary gift, not a purchase. It is handled entirely by Buy Me a Coffee under their own terms, and any question about a charge or a refund is between you and them.

A donation buys nothing: no advantage in the game, no guarantee that the site keeps running, and no verification of anything. This site is never even told whether you donated.

4. Fair play

The game only works if people play it honestly. Please do not:

Team names are limited to 24 characters and are cleaned of characters that could be used to impersonate the organiser's own messages.

5. The wall, and anything you submit

Finishing lets you ask to appear on a public wall. How that works:

Do not submit anything unlawful, hateful, threatening, sexual, commercial, or belonging to someone else. Links you write are stored, and only ordinary web addresses are ever made clickable.

6. Messages to the organiser

The in-app message screen reaches one person's phone. It is answered when that person is free, and sometimes not at all.

It is not an emergency service. If something is wrong in the real world, call the appropriate number. In Sweden that is 112.

7. Availability, and no warranty

This is a hobby project on a single small server. It is provided as is, with no promise that it works, stays available, keeps your progress, or continues to exist. Checkpoints, content and features may change or disappear, and the whole thing may be shut down without notice.

Offline play is a convenience that depends on your own browser's storage. Clearing site data erases your progress, and it cannot be recovered.

8. Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the organiser is not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from using this site or walking the quest, including anything that happens to you on the street, lost progress, or the service being unavailable.

Nothing here removes rights you cannot waive. Swedish and EU law give you certain rights regardless of what any terms say, and this section does not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Privacy

What is stored and what is never collected is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

10. Changes, and governing law

These terms may change. The date at the top changes with them, and continuing to use the site means accepting the current version.

These terms are governed by Swedish law, and disputes belong to the Swedish courts. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of your own country's mandatory consumer law.
