The experience

About this quest

THE DANUBE CONSPIRACY gives you the "key" to the invisible city. 

Unlike a classic tour, you have the unique opportunity to discover Giurgiu as a huge puzzle of steel and stone. See the direct connection between Saligny's lost plans and monuments overlooked every day. 

Missed opportunity if you don't join!Are you ready to become the hero who protects Saligny's legacy?👉 OPEN THE CONSPIRACY FILE AND START THE ADVENTURE NOW!

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with school-age children, couples and escape-room fans can spend around 85 minutes solving outdoor puzzles tied to Saligny's lost plans, on a 2 km loop through central Giurgiu that passes the Vlasca Hotel, the Athenaeum and the town's monuments. Locals will see familiar buildings in a new light. If you would rather ask a live guide questions or stay indoors, choose something else.
