The experience

About this quest

În plin război mondial, un mister vechi de aproape 60 de ani iese la lumină. În dimineața zilei de 28 august 1916, un proiectil lovește în plin Ateneul Român scotând la iveală o comoară legendară. Aceasta nu putea să cadă în mâna inamicilor. 

O echipă formată din câțiva soldați au misiunea aproape imposibilă de a duce aurul la loc sigur.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Romanian-speaking friends and families who played the first gold quest or enjoy team treasure hunts follow a 1916 mission to save a legendary treasure found at the Ateneul Român. Expect about 2 km, ten stops and roughly an hour in central Bucharest. It runs only in Romanian and tells no stories about the places, so non-Romanian speakers and anyone wanting a history tour should pick another.

A little clarity before you go

Frequently asked questions

Does the route go through the Macca-Villacrosse Passage?
Yes. Vilacrosse is one of the stops, and the route also takes in Pasajul Victoria and Pasajul Englez, along with Stavropoleos, Capsa, Piața Odeon, the Memorialul Renașterii and the Carol I statue in central Bucharest.
Where does the quest start and how long does it take?
It starts at the Ateneul Român and finishes back there after ten stops. The walk covers about 2 km and takes around an hour, though you can go at your own pace and pause to continue later.
Is the quest available in English?
No, it is available only in Romanian. It is a scavenger hunt built around the 1916 story of soldiers moving the gold to safety, and it does not include stories about the places you pass, so it suits players who want puzzles rather than a history tour.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play in the evening?
There is no time slot to book. You start whenever you like from your phone and can pause and pick up later. Playing at night is not recommended, so plan to walk the route in daylight.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated for the quest. There is no guide and no other players to join, so friends or a family can walk and solve the puzzles as a single team.
Is Drumul aurului 2 - Bucurestiul sub bombardamente self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you without a tour guide or fixed departure.

It starts at Ateneul Roman, Strada Benjamin Franklin 8, București 030167, Romania and finishes at Stavropoles, Strada Stavropoleos 4, București 030167, Romania. 2 km; 10 puzzles.
