About this quest

This game is a slow, atmospheric walk through Cişmigiu Garden and its surroundings, where history, urban legend, and romance quietly intersect. Instead of chasing clues or racing against time, you follow a handwritten notebook and learn to notice what usually goes unseen: small details, repeated paths, familiar hours. 

The experience blends real monuments with a fictional love story inspired by Bucharest’s past. Challenges are observational and intuitive, designed to make you look closer rather than think harder. The story unfolds gently, rewarding curiosity, patience, and attention.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Bucharest combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 12 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 4920 minutes to complete and covers 1.9km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Bucharest.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

Highlights

  • If you enjoy meaningful walks, subtle storytelling, and discovering a city through emotion rather than facts alone, this quest offers a memorable way to see Bucharest differently - one page, one place, and one lantern at a time.

The mission: Your story in Bucharest

While walking near Cişmigiu Garden, you come across a weathered notebook written in an unfamiliar hand. Its pages don’t tell a complete story - only fragments, observations, and places marked with care. Slowly, a life begins to take shape: a foreign soldier, a nurse... 

The notebook’s author never asks to be found. Only understood. 

Your mission is to follow the places he recorded, uncover the meaning behind his notes, and return the notebook where it belongs - so that a quiet story, once lived, can finally be kept. 

Good to know before you play

  • Fun to do as a couple
  • Route open 24/7 but better during daylight hours
