Frequently asked questions
What’s this quest about?
It’s like stepping into a dark urban legend. You follow spooky clues through Bucharest’s Old Town while chasing the story of a shadow that refuses to fade. History meets ghost stories in a live adventure.
Is it super scary?
It’s creepy-fun, not nightmare fuel. Think goosebumps and eerie corners rather than horror-movie jumps. Perfect if you like mystery with a little shiver.
Is this a good pick for a night out with friends?
Totally. Grab a group and turn the Old Town into your playground. Team up to solve the mystery, dare each other through shadowy streets, and share laughs (and maybe a few shrieks) along the way.
Do we need to book or join a tour guide?
Nope. Just open the app and start when you feel like it. Play late at night or after dinner—it’s flexible.
Can couples enjoy it as a date night?
Absolutely. If you and your partner love mysteries or ghost stories, this is perfect. You’ll huddle close, chase eerie clues, and discover hidden corners that feel made for two.
Is it okay for kids or families?
Better for teens and adults who enjoy spooky stories. For younger kids, it might feel a bit intense—daytime is an easier option if you’re unsure.
