Play a clue-solving app route through Sibiu’s medieval sights, from the Lutheran Cathedral to Piata Mare, with flexible start times for $6.
“We were looking for a guided tour of Sibiu when we came across this quest. It was easy to purchase, load load and get started. Directions were clear and the interactive interface was well designed and easy to follow. The ability to linger and explore further rather than follow a rigid time schedule was a real bonus. Really enjoyed it.”
A clue-led ghost hunt in Bucharest with an offline app, seven spooky stops, free-entry locations, and flexible pacing for 1.5 to 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.”
Solve 10 medieval puzzles on your phone while exploring Sighisoara’s fortress sights, with offline directions and a budget price.
“De quest was erg leuk. Niet alle antwoorden waren makkelijk te vinden, maar het concept is erg leuk. Vooral met kinderen tot een jaar of 14. Trek goede schoenen aan.”

“Great experience! We really enjoyed it! Highly recommend playing it as we found out loads of interesting things.”
Legend of Skull Island in Brasov: story-driven pirate escape room in Captain Skag’s quarters, clever puzzles, friendly hosts, English option.
“Really fun experience with my kids and a very kind gamemaster. You can see it's a small family business that puts a lot of heart into this. Very cozy place for boardgame nights!”
Self-guided Brasov Haunted Past quest through dark streets and parks with Klingsor. App ticket, 1h46, low cost.
“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.”
Self-guided Bucharest puzzle walk from Revolution Square to Constitution Square, using clues to learn 1989 landmarks 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.”
Castles and bears, salt and water — the country sorted by the kind of day it makes.
