Fantastic introduction to Bucharest - Fantastic way to discover a city. Shows you the most important locations around old town Bucharest and shares interesting stories and factoids. Quite fun to have to look around for the location and solve puzzles. Hard enough to make you have to think a little, yet easy enough to not be frustrating. A very good introduction to Bucharest and a jump off point for further exploration of the city.

Great chance to enjoy the city - I really liked the activity, it allows several things at the same time: - Engage with the team (work together) - Know the city - Learn about interesting historic facts - Better experience than locked scape rooms, fresh air :) Thanks for setting it up in such a fun way! To Improve: - Probably to provide the possibility to go back and read more in details the history (after finishing the activity)

And it has a lot of interesting locations so it isn't boring, and it has a lot of information and I really love how this route shows the city.

Bucharest center short hike for tourists - As someone who lives in this city for many years....still finding something new gives a sense of awe (victoria colorful passage). I find the quest a must for tourists who want to match a short hike with a bit of history. As an advice stop for refreshments after the quest is done.

Ok, but could use some improvements - Fun idea! Clues were not very clear, which made it difficult to find the answer. Took us more than two hours to complete. It would have been nice to start anywhere on the course rather than a specific starting point because we had already walked a few blocks before we started, then we had to back track

City trip - Bucharest in winter is cold, very cold, the old city is particular but nothing special, the city can be explored easily in two days, a very poor city. The attractions are not many and can only be seen in two days.

We couldn’t get the app to start - The app didn’t work for us. We were excited to try it, but it was our last day and couldn’t try again. The game wouldn’t start for us.
