John Paul II Memory

Meet our Polish pope - from Karol of Wadowice to a saint for the whole world.

A large-format memory game telling the story of John Paul II - even before he became pope, and throughout his pontificate. Children match photos to descriptions and discover who Karol Wojtyła was: where he came from, what his passions were, what kind of pope he was and what he left behind. There is no shortage of cream cakes, mountains and World Youth Day.

2026 edition

John Paul II Memory

A large-format memory game about the life of the Polish pope

How the game works

Four sides, one block.

Just like Bible Memory, this construction is made of rotating blocks - and each one has four sides. That gives you four different modes in a single installation: matching, discovering, checking and a city game. Children turn the blocks, read the facts and discover the life of Karol Wojtyła.

Rotating blocks with four sides

Each block hides four sides, and every side is a different challenge. Thanks to this, one construction offers several games at once, and children come back to it again and again - discovering something new each time.

The four sides of the block
  • Side 1: Match the photo to a description of an event from the pope's life
  • Side 2: Discover facts and trivia about Karol Wojtyła
  • Side 3: Check your answers - self-correction
  • Side 4: A city game - set off from Wadowice to the Vatican

John Paul II Memory - a city game from Wadowice to the Vatican

City game: from Wadowice to the Vatican

The fourth side of the blocks hides a city game. Children set off on a journey in the footsteps of Karol Wojtyła - from Wadowice all the way to the Vatican - discovering trivia about his life through movement tasks, search games and puzzles. Discovery turns into an adventure in the open air.

What awaits along the way
  • A route from his home town of Wadowice to the Vatican
  • Movement tasks - discovery through activity
  • Search games and puzzles about the pope's life
  • Trivia discovered step by step
