Storyline

It's 1738. You are Capitan Ilie Birt, a wealthy merchant from Scheii Brasovului. You have just returned from a glorious campaign against the Ottomans.

On your way back home, you realize that now is the perfect time to implement the secret plan of the Romanians living in the Schei neighborhood. 
With the prestige gained on the battlefield and with the wealth of the local merchants, you could turn Schei into a Republic. That way the people could finally break free from the Saxon tyranny.

We enjoyed this tour a lot! It was great to find out about Ilie Brit and discover the beautiful neighborhood. The only problem we had, was that one riddle (i think it was 7) were we wrote the solution in all capital letters and it was the right one but the app didn't take it and presented the solution in small letters only. Other than that we had a great time! The story is compelling if a little romaticised and the context added really helps to understand the bigger picture.
