Frequently asked questions
Is this a good date idea in Bucharest?
It is written as a romantic adventure for two. You walk about 2.2 km through the calm Cotroceni neighbourhood, follow the love story of Maria and Anton, and solve puzzles in the buildings around you. You can start whenever suits you, with no time slot to book.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at Monumentul Eroilor Sanitari and loops back to the same monument at the end. Along the way you pass stops such as Parcul Romniceanu, Vila Mimi&Titi, Casa vapor, Casa Pipos - Cionca and Biserica Sf. Elefterie Vechi.
How long does it take, and do we need tickets for any attractions?
Plan on about an hour to walk roughly 2.2 km and visit 11 stops. No attraction tickets are required, as the story and puzzles are played outdoors around the streets, houses and monuments of Cotroceni.
What if it gets cold while we are playing?
You can pause the game at almost any location and go inside somewhere to warm up. When you are ready, pick up again from where you stopped, so a chilly evening does not mean losing your progress.
