About this quest

Manuscrisul Secret al Bucureștiului este un joc de explorare urbană care te poartă prin inima Capitalei, într-o poveste originală de conspirații, secrete istorice și indicii ascunse la vedere. Pe măsură ce înaintezi prin oraș, vei descoperi că Bucureștiul nu este doar un spațiu al trecutului vizibil, ci un loc unde deciziile, alianțele și tăcerile au lăsat urme adânci.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Romanian-speaking couples, families and friends who enjoy conspiracy stories will spend about two hours following clues from Foișorul de Foc past embassies, writers' houses and the statues of Mircea Eliade and Corneliu Coposu, solving medium-level puzzles along the way. If you would rather ask a live guide questions, stay indoors, or skip a 3.3 km walk in summer heat, choose another outing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Secret Manuscript of Bucharest quest about?
It is an original urban exploration game set in central Bucharest, built around a story of conspiracies, historical secrets and clues hidden in plain sight. As you walk, you learn how decisions, alliances and silences left their mark on the city, and you solve puzzles using what is in front of you.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Foișorul de Foc and finishes at Muzeul Recordurilor Românești, so it does not end where it began. In between you pass the Greek, Croatian, Danish and Bangladesh embassies, Sanatoriu Caritatea, Casa Sângelui Negru, Casa Dimitrie Bolintineanu, Colegiul Matei Basarab and Casa Anton Pann, among other stops.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about two hours, walking and puzzles included, over a route of 3.3 km. The puzzles are rated medium difficulty. You can pause the game whenever you like and continue later, so there is no need to finish in one go.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, it is tagged family friendly. It works best for children old enough to walk 3.3 km over about two hours and to help with medium-level puzzles. On warm days bring hats, sunscreen and enough water, and consider going in the morning to avoid the heat.
Do we need to book a time or pay to play?
No. The quest is free to play and you start whenever you want on your phone, with no group to join and no guide to meet. The route is open around the clock, though it is better in daylight, and mornings are recommended in hot weather.
