Medieval Cluj: King Matia's Secret Treasure

4.65693 Reviews1,783 people have played this quest
Cluj has been keeping a secret since the reign of King Matthias Corvinus, the 15th-century king who was born in this city, built its walls, funded its churches, and left behind a legend about a crow, a stolen ring, and a treasure that no one has found since.

In this outdoor treasure hunt through medieval Cluj, your grandfather's letter guides you through eleven locations: the Tailors' Bastion, the Goldsmith's House, the Calvinist Church, the Matthias Corvinus statue, and the hill overlooking the city where the story ends.

Along the way you will collect keys, unlock a crow, follow a map, and piece together six centuries of history in a city that still remembers its most famous king.

The mission: Your story in Cluj-Napoca

An old prophecy runs through the history of Cluj like a thread through stone: whoever finds the Crow and sets it free will discover the lost treasure of the city.

Your grandfather was one of the few people who knew where the Crow was hidden. Before he died, he left you a letter filled with cryptic hints.

You have read it many times.

Now you are standing at the start of the route he mapped out, in a city that has been keeping secrets since the Middle Ages.

Follow the clues. Collect what your grandfather left for you. And find out what the Crow has been guarding for six hundred years.
