Over deze quest

Bucharest, 1983. Food is scarce, fear is everywhere, and the absurdity is very, very real. 

In this walking quest, you’ll live one surreal day under Romania’s communist regime—dodging surveillance, solving puzzles, and uncovering secrets behind the propaganda curtain. Step into a world where irony and oppression dance in the streets, and the only way forward is to decode the past. 

Follow the clues through real locations tied to incredible true stories, and experience Bucharest like never before. It's a journey that’s bizarre, thought-provoking, and best shared with friends. Will you make it to the end of the day… or disappear like so many did?

Hoogtepunten

  • Follow clues and find the CEC Palace, Revolution Square and Kretzulescu Church

  • Visit buildings and places that have remained unchanged since the fall of the communist regime

  • See the People's Palace, the 2nd-largest building in the world

  • Find out real stories about the Ceausescu family and the life in communism

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Bucharest

Romania triumphantly marched through communism towards complete failure for 42 years, from 1947 to 1989, but YOU have the luck of surviving through it for only a day.

Solve the clues and you can discover some of the almost unbelievable stories from the Communist Golden Age, as you pass by illustrious places of the communist city-scene.

Are you ready to go back in time?
