The Experience

Turn down a street in Old Town Bucharest and your phone tells you exactly where to go next. You're not following a guide or a map—you're chasing a clue that leads you toward the House of the Devil, or University Square, or the Cismigiu Gardens, each one a place with a story the app unlocks once you solve the puzzle waiting there. The ghost hunt quest takes you through 1 to 2 hours of walking, but there's no timer pushing you, so if you want to linger at a spot or sit on a bench and read what you've just discovered, you can.

The whole thing runs on your smartphone. Download the app before you start, show up at the starting point, and you're ready. No GPS, no paper map, no guide talking over your shoulder—just the clues feeding you exact directions from one haunted location to the next. When you get the answer right, the secret story unlocks. The app works offline, which means you're not burning data as you move through the city, and you can pick it up again later if you need a break. It's recommended you play at night for the full haunted experience, but technically you can start whenever you want—early morning, afternoon, midnight.

The quest takes you past the organ traffickers' story at the Bucharest Post Office, through curses and spells tied to the city's oldest streets, and into corners most tourists miss because they're following a bus tour instead. Each clue is self-contained, so you spend as much time as you want at each place before moving on. If your group is bigger than 15 people, you just book multiple times and everyone gets their own quest to solve.

What’s included

Full app access to the ghost hunt quest, exact directions between haunted locations, clue-solving puzzles that unlock stories at each stop, offline gameplay, and the flexibility to start anytime and play at your own pace.
