The Vanishing Pharmacist: A Cure for Sadness

Combining the gritty atmosphere of a 1920s detective noir with the cerebral puzzles of an escape room, this game transforms the city into a living game board. 

You won't just be looking at statues and facades; you’ll be interrogating them. From the 17th-century origins of Colțea to the hidden geometric patterns of interwar villas, every stone relief and iron gate holds a secret.

Will you find the antidote in time, or will you too become a victim of the Perfume of Oblivion?

La misión: Tu historia en Bucharest

The year is 1925. The Batiște district is on edge. A man named Marco, the neighborhood’s trusted pharmacist, has vanished without a trace. His successor, a cold, Pavia-trained chemist named Iane, has turned the lab into something... different. 

Reports are coming in of 'unsettling fragrances' that make people forget their own names. You’ve been hired to trace Iane’s steps, collect the chemical components of his 'Cure for Sadness,' and find out if it’s a remedy - or a trap.

We liked the detailed directions and that there was a puzzle for every stop. Two puzzles contained mistakes, which we reported. The pieces about the city’s history were great, the legend behind the quest was nice too. We would like to see more monuments and beautiful buildings as destination points rather than caffès
