About this quest
Explore the medieval heart of Sibiu on this self-guided walking tour and city game through Transylvania's best-preserved citadel. Solve 15 location-based puzzles as you trace the path of seven historic fortification towers that once protected the city.
Walk through Sibiu's Old Town, from the Large Square (Piata Mare) to the Lower Town, discovering hidden stairways, secret passages, and quiet courtyards that most visitors never find. Along the way, uncover centuries of stories: a king tricked by a belt of leather, a bridge that punishes liars, and goldsmiths whose rules could make or break a man.
This outdoor escape game in Sibiu takes you to landmarks including the Evangelical Church Tower, the Liars' Bridge (Podul Minciunilor), the Caryatids House, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Goldsmiths' Stairway. Each location holds a puzzle to solve and a story to unlock.
Perfect as a fun thing to do in Sibiu for couples, families, and solo travellers. No guide needed. Start anytime, go at your own pace, and discover why Sibiu was named European Capital of Culture.
