Frequently asked questions
What’s the vibe of this quest—it’s scary or more ghost-story mood?
More mood than terror. You’re the apprentice of a ghost hunter; there are whispers, shadows, creepy folklore, but not full horror. Good for those who like goosebumps, not nightmares.
What if I'm not into ghosts—still worth doing?
Yeah – even if you don’t believe in hauntings, the old legends, architecture, and puzzles make this a really atmospheric walk. Think more folklore than fear.
Are there spots along the route where I can stop for food or coffee?
Yes! There are cafés and pubs in the old town near some of the stops. You can plan a break halfway (or two), enjoy something warm, especially if you play in the evening.
Is a sunset start better than starting after dark?
Starting at sunset gives beautiful light, nice shadows, fewer people. After dark adds more mystery but also means less visibility—you choose what vibe you like.
How challenging are the puzzles—will I get stuck?
Some clues are clever, but they don’t throw you into insane riddles. There are stops where you might scratch your head, but you’ll move forward. Good mix of thinking and exploring.
