Frequently asked questions
What is the royal ball quest about?
It is a treasure hunt through Bucharest as it was once known, 'Little Paris'. You follow the steps of the bourgeoisie, counts and countesses, and also the servants behind them, past elegant buildings, grand palaces and period streets, solving puzzles and hearing stories along the way.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Palatul Suțu and finishes at Palatul Regal, so it is not a loop. In between you pass Casa de pălării Volays, Cafeneaua Macca, Casa Capsa and Teatrul Național, in that order, over about 1.8 km.
How long does it take?
Most players take about 50 minutes, including the walking and the puzzles. You can pause the game and continue later if you want to stop for a coffee or take your time at any of the stops.
Is it good for kids, and can we play as a group?
The quest is tagged family friendly and works well for couples too. The short 1.8 km route suits children who can manage a city walk, and the puzzles use what is in front of you. One ticket covers the whole group playing together.
Do we need to book a time?
No. There is no group to join and no guide, so you can start whenever you like. The route is open around the clock, but it is better played in daylight, when the buildings and details for the puzzles are easier to see.
Is Bucharest: Un bal regal, o șansă la tron! self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you without a tour guide or fixed departure.
