Frequently asked questions

Does the game take place inside Gradina Botanica Iasi, and is entry included?
Yes, the whole game is set in the Botanic Garden in Iasi and takes you through its gates to stops around the grounds. The garden's entrance ticket is not included, so you need to buy it separately when you arrive.
How long does it take, and how far do we walk?
Plan on about an hour and a quarter, or 1 to 2 hours if you linger over the puzzles and the garden. The distance between stops is short, around 0.2 km, and you can pause the game and continue later.
Is it good for young children?
It is designed with families in mind. Kids explore the garden, solve puzzles at each stop and collect mini Knights as they go, which helps keep them engaged on the walk. Younger children will likely want an adult to read along and help with the harder puzzles.
Can we play when it is cold or wet, or in the evening?
The game is outdoors and summer is the best time to play, though it works any time of year. If it gets cold, you can pause and go inside to warm up at almost any location in the game. Playing at night is not recommended.
Do we need to book a time, and can a group play together?
There is no time slot to book: start whenever you reach the garden and play at your own pace on a phone, with no guide. One ticket covers your whole group, so a family can follow the story and solve the puzzles together.
