About this quest

On a remote delta, you join a team of experts invited to witness a revolutionary breakthrough: living dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period.

What begins as awe and discovery soon spirals into a struggle for survival as nature pushes back against human control.

As one of the main characters, you must navigate wonder, betrayal, and primal danger in a place where the past lives again - and it doesn’t follow the rules.

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 15 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 9960 minutes to complete and covers 2.6km 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.
