Frequently asked questions
How can I step inside Sighisoara’s medieval world in a hands-on way?
By playing Medieval Sighisoara: Defend the Fortress, you move beyond looking at towers and walls—you become part of their story. Solve riddles that guide you through narrow cobblestone streets and historic squares once guarded by craftsmen and soldiers.
We’re a couple looking for something special—would this be a good date idea?
Yes! Meander through lantern-lit alleys, share the thrill of uncovering hidden gates, and help “defend” the citadel together. It’s a mix of romance, fun teamwork, and unforgettable old-world scenery.
I’m visiting with children—will they like it or find it too grown-up?
Kids love playing knight and spy. The puzzles are accessible and the setting—watchtowers, secret staircases, and the hilltop church—sparks imagination. Plus, you can pause for snacks or photos whenever you like.
Can a group of friends turn this into a team challenge?
Absolutely. Compete to see who solves each clue fastest or work as one big squad. The citadel’s twisting streets and ancient defenses make the perfect playground for a friendly competition.
Is it easy to follow if I don’t speak Romanian?
Yes. The entire experience is available in English, and instructions are clear. You don’t need any language skills beyond that—just curiosity and comfortable shoes.
