The adventure
About this quest
All roads lead to Rome. But roads work both ways. Augustus knew that better than anyone. While the world was busy marching toward Rome, he was quietly moving his most dangerous secrets out. He needed a place to hide the Imperial Regalia and he chose this city to keep them safe.
This wasn't some random choice; it was a calculated move. He left the location with one man, who encoded the map across landmarks using symbols carved into the city's oldest stones. Those marks are still there, hiding in plain sight while you grab your morning coffee or walk to work.
You receive the first clue from a source who refuses to identify themselves. The greatest personal treasury ever assembled is waiting for someone with the right eyes to find it. Are you ready to claim what Augustus left behind?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting and finishing on the same square, this 3.7 km loop through Brașov's centre hunts for Augustus's carved symbols past a statue, a museum, an alley, an arch, a church and fountain in around 90 minutes. Couples, friends and families with teens who enjoy Roman legends and codes will like it. Pick something else if you want a live guide or have young children who can't walk nearly 4 km.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a treasure hunt in Brașov I can do on my own?
Yes. This is a self-guided treasure hunt played on your phone. The app leads you from stop to stop through the city, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. You start whenever you like, with no guide and no group to join.
Does this Brașov walk have a Roman theme?
It does. The story follows Augustus, who chose this city to hide the Imperial Regalia and left the location with one man. That man encoded the map across landmarks using symbols carved into the city's oldest stones, and your job is to find those marks and follow them.
Where exactly does the quest start and how long is it?
It starts at a square, and the route also finishes at a square. The app guides you to each point. Expect about 90 minutes and around 3.7 km of walking, though you can take longer, pause and continue later.
Is it suitable for children?
It works best for families with older children and teens, who can enjoy the Augustus story and spot the carved symbols the puzzles are built around. Younger children may find 3.7 km of walking and the clue-solving harder going.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no time slot to book, so you start whenever suits you. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. It is an outdoor walk, so plan around the weather, and you can pause and continue later if it rains.
What is The Lost Gold of Brasov about?
It is a fictional mystery in which Augustus’ imperial treasures were hidden in Brasov and their location encoded in symbols among the city’s oldest stones.
Which part of Brasov does the treasure hunt explore?
The fifteen-clue route begins and ends in Piața Sfatului, using central Brasov landmarks as the setting for a 3.7 km puzzle trail.
Is this a guided treasure tour?
No. It is a self-guided outdoor game. You follow the clues in the Questo app without a guide or a fixed departure time.
