The experience

About this quest

Cluj has been keeping a secret since the reign of King Matthias Corvinus, the 15th-century king who was born in this city, built its walls, funded its churches, and left behind a legend about a crow, a stolen ring, and a treasure that no one has found since.

In this outdoor treasure hunt through medieval Cluj, your grandfather's letter guides you through eleven locations: the Tailors' Bastion, the Goldsmith's House, the Calvinist Church, the Matthias Corvinus statue, and the hill overlooking the city where the story ends.

Along the way you will collect keys, unlock a crow, follow a map, and piece together six centuries of history in a city that still remembers its most famous king.
