Long ago, a prophecy whispered through the cobbled streets of Cluj: whoever finds the Crow and sets it free shall uncover King Matia's lost treasure. Now, a letter from your late grandfather—one of the few keepers of this secret—has surfaced. It’s filled with cryptic hints, waiting to be solved.
Begin your journey from Saint Joseph’s Church parking lot and step into a world of medieval mystery. As you follow clues through hidden alleys and historic landmarks, you’ll uncover secrets buried for centuries.
This quest is more than a walk—it's an adventure of puzzles, legends, and real-world discovery. Bring your friends or family and create memories you’ll treasure long after the Crow takes flight.
