“Great View of the city, chill place and challenging Experience with friendly staff that made a good debriefing after the experience”
Solve clue puzzles in Sibiu’s old town at your own pace with a phone app, hitting landmarks like Piata Mare and Turnul Sfatului.
“Having recently completed a similar quest in Sibiu, we had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it was not as well done as the one in Sibiu. The directions were not as clear and some of the clues were confusing. It was still enjoyable to wander around Sighisaora and the historical information and stories provided at each stop were good. This quest could use a little improvement.”
A self-paced, offline treasure hunt through Bucharest Old Town. Follow clues from Hanul lui Manuc for $6 and learn as you walk.
“The App doesn´t work :-( So we pay the Taxi to get there for nothing. The support was also not helpful. In the end it was waste of time and energy :-(”
Play an offline ghost hunt through Bucharest with puzzles at seven haunted stops. Start anytime and finish in about 2 hours.
“I've done similar tours to this in london, but this wasnt a patch on those. While it did show some interesting sights of the city I'd not seen before, I spent most of the time lost and looking at Google Maps for directions. Too often, clues would give direction like 'keep going', and you'd assume this to mean in a straight line, but I was lost and frustrated more than anything else. I'd also like to see an option built in to take short break of needed. I'm just grateful it wasnt expensive or I'd be asking for a refund.”
A $5.99 smartphone quest that guides you through Sighișoara’s fortress highlights with offline puzzles, clear directions, and flexible pacing.
“The riddles are flawed, have wrong information (they claim the museum is free, it's not, it was super awkward), the directions are terrible and sometimes the pin is off, the story is weird, the riddles are pointless and boring”
Play an offline King Matthias treasure hunt in Cluj-Napoca, solving app clues across the old city for about 2 hours.
“Leuk om te doen. Startpunt was wat lastig te vinden en bij sommige opdrachten staat het antwoord al op de bijgevoegde foto.”
An English, offline cemetery quest in Bucharest, visiting Bellu’s most striking tombs and stories in a private, self-guided loop.
“Great experience! We really enjoyed it! Highly recommend playing it as we found out loads of interesting things.”
Pirate themed escape room in Brasov, Romania. Captain Skag puzzles, interactive mechanisms, and helpful game masters. Private group fun.
“We came twice for both rooms. First we did the skill island, and enjoyed it very much. The kids had a blast. We actually didn't finish the entire challange, but were very excited. Then, we came to the 2nd room few days after, as the kids had so much fun. The challanges are well thought, and the attention to details is amazing. Overall, we give this a 10/10.”
Solve puzzles in medieval Brașov on a phone game walking tour, hitting bastions and landmarks like Rope Street, from $5.41 per person.
“Adrian was an excellent guide. Unfortunately, Peleş castle interior was closed but he kept us entertained with engaging and informative narratives. We had a great meal at his family restaurant and overall a wonderful day.”
A self-guided haunted walk in Brasov, Romania, mixing dark legends with walking. Follow Klingsor, solve story clues, return to Biserica Blumenau.
“I’d recommend you Uber to the first location or plan on a long initial walk! The experience was a fun way to kill time on our last day in Brasov but we were expecting more time around the city center rather than a 20+ minute walk to the first location! After that the walks were much shorter but we were already a bit burnt out before we began. Otherwise a lot of fun and well done! More of a history walking tour than a game.”
Solve history puzzles around Bucharest, from Revolution Square to major landmarks, with a one-hour English self-guided quest for $5.95.
“A fun way to explore and learn more about Bucharest's recent history. We really enjoyed it! A couple of the clues needed updating which was frustrating as we had to use the "reveal answer" option rather than being able to work it out ourselves.”
