The experience

About this quest

Rebellion is a dangerous game when the secret police lurk in the shadows, ready to crush any defiance to the regime.

But there's a flicker of hope: the resistance.
Find out if you have what it takes to join them. Navigate a labyrinth of clues and encrypted messages to outsmart the regime's agents.

Discover the secrets of a working-class neighborhood full of character. Winding alleys, quaint buildings and places, all hold more than meets the eye.

Step into the shadows and let the game begin.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples and families who live in or are visiting Drumul Taberei get an hour-long spy game about the resistance and the secret police. You loop 2.2 km from the Cultural Center past the park bridges, the grocery market and the water tower, cracking medium-level clues and coded messages. Families with children too young for encrypted puzzles, or anyone wanting shade and indoors on a hot day, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts and ends at the Cultural Center in Drumul Taberei, so you finish where you began. Along the way you pass the Amphitheater, the bridges and entrance of the park, the grocery market, the subway station and the water tower.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on about an hour for a walk of around 2.2 km. The difficulty is rated medium, so time can stretch if a coded message holds you up. You can pause at any point and continue later.
Is it suitable for children?
It is tagged family friendly, and the story is a playful mission against the secret police rather than a grim history lesson. With medium-level clues and encrypted messages, it suits school-age children who enjoy puzzles, while younger ones will likely need an adult to help.
Do we need to book a time slot, and is it fine at night?
No time slot is needed; you start whenever you like. The route is open 24/7, but daylight is better for spotting the details the clues rely on. The walk is outdoors, so bring a hat, sunscreen and enough water on sunny days.
