The experience

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.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples and unhurried walkers will get a quiet, story-led stroll through Cișmigiu Garden, following a handwritten notebook and a fictional love story set among real monuments such as Eminescu's Spring and the Monumentul Eroilor Americani. It takes around an hour and a half over 1.9 km. If you want fast clue-hunting, brain-teasers or a race against the clock, this gentle observational walk will feel too slow.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Cismigiu Garden walk start and finish?
It starts at the Teachers entrance of Gh. Lazar Highschool and finishes at the National Archives, looping back close to where you began. Along the way you pass the Sturdza Monument, Writers' Square, Eminescu's Spring, La Pietre, the Dacia Romana monument and Hotel Cișmigiu.
How long does the walk take and how far is it?
Most players take around an hour and a half, including walking and the challenges. The route covers about 1.9 km through Cișmigiu Garden and its surroundings, and the pace is meant to be slow, with no timer pushing you on.
Is it free, and can we play as a couple or a group?
Yes, it is free to play. It is tagged as fun to do as a couple, and friends can follow it together on a phone. There is no group to join and no guide, so you set your own pace.
Is it suitable for children?
It is not designed as a family game. The challenges are observational rather than hard puzzles, but the heart of it is a gentle love story told through a notebook, so it tends to suit adults and teenagers who enjoy a slow, atmospheric walk more than young children.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking is needed. You can start whenever you like and pause, then continue later. The route is open 24/7, but it is better walked during daylight hours, when the small details the challenges ask you to notice are easier to see.
