About this quest

Learning through play — this is the goal of our game. 

Through various puzzles, riddles, and fascinating information about the city, we aim to offer each participant a memorable experience, full of discoveries and good cheer. We want this evening to be not just a fun adventure, but also an opportunity to better understand the stories of Cluj, in an interactive and lively way. 

Every step you take, every riddle you solve, adds a new page to your own adventure through the spirit of the city. 

Is this for you?
