Frequently asked questions

Where does the Greek Church quest in Brasov start and finish?
It starts at the icons at the entrance of the Greek Church near Council Square and finishes at the ancient cross in the cemetery. Along the way it passes the throne, the hall with candles, the Pieta, the oldest tombstones and three sets of crypts, all on a short 0.5 km loop.
How long does it take?
Most players take about an hour, including the puzzles and the short walk between stops. The whole route covers only around 0.5 km, moving from inside the church out to the old cemetery and its crypts, so it fits easily into a morning or afternoon in the old town.
When can we play it?
The game is playable between 10:00 and 16:00 on weekdays and between 12:00 and 16:00 on weekends. These hours can change when weddings, funerals or other events take place at the church, so plan for some flexibility on the day you go.
Is it free, and can we play as a group?
Yes, it is free to play. Friends, couples or a small group can follow the clues together on a phone, working through the church and cemetery puzzles side by side. There is no group to join and no guide, so you set your own pace.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking is needed. You can start whenever you like within the church's playing hours, and you can pause the game and continue later. The app leads you from stop to stop and tells the story of each place as you go.
