The adventure

About this quest

Victor Braunā€™s "impenetrable" vault has been breached. In this high-stakes game, you choose the path: will you orchestrate the perfect robbery or hunt down the masterminds?

The Thief: Join "The Cat" and His Crew
Reclaim your familyā€™s stolen brooch by teaming up with the worldā€™s most dangerous thief. Your mission is to dismantle Braunā€™s security empire piece by piece.

  • The Job: Infiltrate the vault, bypass high-tech locks, and forge credentials.
  • The Payoff: Take it all ā€” the art, the gold, and the jewelry ā€” before the law arrives.

The Detective: Junior Analyst for Interpol
The vault is empty and the trail is cold. Inspector SĆ©raphine Doucet has recruited you to find the one mistake the thieves left behind.

  • The Job: Retrace the criminals' steps, decode forged documents, and grill witnesses.
  • The Payoff: Uncover the truth behind Braunā€™s fortune and catch the crew before they vanish.

The crew is ready. The Inspector is waiting. The clock is ticking. Will you take everything, or find everything?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Friends, couples and families with teens who like heist stories can pick a side, joining a master thief or hunting the crew, while solving puzzles on a 2.4 km loop past Casa Hecht and the Brukenthal National Museum. Allow around 90 minutes; it is free to play. Anyone wanting an indoor escape room or a live guide to quiz on Sibiu's history should pick something else.
