The experience

About this quest

Rebellion is a dangerous game when the secret police lurk in the shadows, ready to crush any defiance to the regime.

But there's a flicker of hope: the resistance.
Find out if you have what it takes to join them. Navigate a labyrinth of clues and encrypted messages to outsmart the regime's agents.

Discover the secrets of a working-class neighborhood full of character. Winding alleys, quaint buildings and places, all hold more than meets the eye.

Step into the shadows and let the game begin.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with children old enough to work through clues, and couples who like a spy story, can play recruits of the resistance, decoding messages on a 2.2 km walk from the Cultural Center through Drumul Taberei and into its park. Allow about an hour and a quarter at medium difficulty. If you want a guide to ask about the area's real history, or shade on a hot afternoon, choose another outing.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Drumul Taberei quest start and finish?
It starts at The Cultural Center and finishes at The Amphitheater, so it does not end where it began. Along the way you pass The Water Tower, The Subway Station, The Grocery Market and The Stars, then enter the park and cross The Park Bridge before the final stop.
How long does the walk take?
Most players take about an hour and a quarter, around 75 minutes, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers 2.2 km through the neighbourhood and into the park. You can pause the game and continue later if you need a break.
Is it suitable for children?
It is tagged family friendly, with puzzles at medium difficulty, so it suits school-age children who enjoy decoding clues with an adult helping. The story is about the secret police and the resistance, told as a game of outsmarting the regime's agents.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play as a group?
No. The quest is free to play, and there is no group to join or time slot to book. Start whenever you like on your phone, play at your own pace with friends or family, and pause to continue later.
When is the best time to go, and what should we bring?
The route is open around the clock but is better during daylight hours. It is played outdoors, so wear a hat and sunscreen and bring enough water, especially on warm days in the park.
