Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and end?
It starts at the icons at the entrance of the Greek Church, near Council Square. From there it leads through the church and its cemetery, past the crypts and old tombstones, and finishes back at the entrance icons, so you end where you began.
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.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on about an hour. The route covers only 0.5 km, moving between the candle hall, the ancient cross, three crypts, the Brancoveanu tombstones, the tomb of Metropolitan Dositei Filiti and the oldest gravestones, with most of the time spent looking and solving rather than walking.
Is it indoors or outdoors?
Both. Part of the quest takes place inside the church, with stops such as the candle hall, the throne and an icon in the church. The rest is outside in the cemetery and along the outer wall of the church, so bring a layer if the weather turns.
Can we play as a group, and can we pause?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and you start whenever you like within the playing hours without booking a time. You can pause and continue later, though keep the daily closing time in mind.
