Brasov: The Warning Before the Siege (part I)
The year is 1455, and Brașov is on edge. A scout has just arrived at Catherine’s Gate with urgent news—enemies are advancing, and the city must prepare.
As a trusted messenger, your task is critical: alert the city’s defenders by delivering the warning to the bastions, towers, and key strongholds before time runs out. You’ll navigate Brașov’s medieval streets, uncover clues hidden in its fortified walls, and solve puzzles along the way.
This real-world walking quest combines history, urgency, and exploration—an immersive adventure to enjoy with friends or family as you bring the city’s defenses to life. Brașov is counting on you. Are you ready for battle?
