Is this for you?

Who it's for

Romanian-speaking locals, couples and families with older children who wonder which central buildings would survive the next big quake will enjoy this 2.4 km walk. It passes buildings hit in 1940 and 1977, such as Scala, Carlton and the Palatul Telefoanelor, with medium-difficulty puzzles at each stop. The game is in Romanian only and uses dark humour about earthquakes, so non-Romanian speakers or anyone uneasy with the subject should choose another quest.

Frequently asked questions

Does the route pass Victoria Passage in Bucharest?
Yes. Pasajul Victoria is one of the stops on the route, alongside other central buildings linked to the 1940 and 1977 earthquakes, such as Scala, Carlton, Wilson and the Palatul Telefoanelor. At each stop the app tells the story of the building and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you.
Where does the quest start and how long does it take?
It starts at Turnul Colței in the centre of Bucharest. The walk covers about 2.4 km and takes around an hour and 20 minutes, plus any time you spend lingering at the buildings. You can pause the game and continue later if you want a coffee break along the way.
Is the game available in English?
No. The story, the information about each building and the puzzles are all in Romanian only. It suits Romanian speakers, whether Bucharest locals or visitors, and anyone who wants to play should be comfortable reading Romanian on their phone.
Is it suitable for children?
It is tagged family friendly, but the puzzles are medium difficulty and the topic is seismic risk, told with some dark humour. It works best for older children who read Romanian well and are curious about earthquakes, rather than for very young kids.
Do we need to book a time, and can the group share one ticket?
There is no time slot to book: start whenever you like, as the route is open around the clock, though it is better in daylight so you can see the buildings. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and you can pause and resume later.
