The mission: Your story in Sighisoara
You have entered Sighișoara in search of the stories its stones no longer tell. Your guide is Ana Bába, a midwife who knows the old remedies, protections, omens, and fears that once shaped life inside the citadel. But Ana has a story of her own, and not every memory is easy to uncover. Follow her through the old town, solve each challenge using the clues she gives you, and discover how belief shaped both her life and the community around her. Begin in Piața Muzeului, where Ana is waiting.
