Lost Map of Sibiu: Self-Guided Treasure Hunt Game

Hunt for a centuries-lost treasure by solving riddles at Sibiu's real landmarks

The Lost Map of Sibiu is a self-guided treasure hunt game played through the Questo app, where you solve riddles and word puzzles at six stops across the medieval town (from the Bridge of Lies to Piata Mare) to uncover both a fictional treasure and real stories from Sibiu's history. You set your own pace, take breaks whenever you want, and can pause and resume even on another day. The walk takes about 90 to 120 minutes with optional stops. A minimum age of 12 applies, and 24/7 customer support with built-in hints keeps you from getting stuck.

The experience

You start on Strada Faurului with the old city rising above you, then cross the Bridge of Lies and work your way up through the Lower Town toward the Upper Town, passing the Council Tower, Piata Mare, Huet Square, Casa Calfelor (the journeymen's house), the Passage of Stairs and the medieval towers of Citadel Park. At each stop, the map reveals a riddle or word puzzle tied to the details around you (a carved stone, an architectural feature, a street corner), and solving it unlocks a piece of Sibiu's real history or a local legend. The game blends fiction with fact so thoroughly that by the time you reach the final stop on Piata Mare, you've learned the town as well as you've played it.

The whole thing runs through the Questo app on your phone, so there's no guide walking beside you and no fixed schedule to follow. You book a ticket, download the game and start whenever you want: morning, afternoon, or split it across two days if you prefer. Pause for coffee on a medieval square, take a detour, come back later: the game waits. Built-in hints mean you won't stay stuck on a puzzle, and 24/7 customer support is there if something goes wrong. The walk itself is easy difficulty and works for solo players, couples, families with kids over 12, or groups doing a team-building challenge.

Top questions

What is the Bridge of Lies and why does it matter in the game?

The Bridge of Lies is one of Sibiu's most famous landmarks and a key stop in the treasure hunt. You cross it early in the game as you move from the Lower Town toward the Upper Town, and solving the riddle there reveals a story from the city's past.

Can I play this game alone, or do I need to bring other people?

You can play alone or bring your whole group: friends, family, or a team. The game works the same way either way. You just book one ticket per person and everyone follows the same map and riddles together.

What happens if I get stuck on a puzzle?

The Questo app includes built-in hints for every puzzle, so you can nudge yourself in the right direction without giving away the answer. If you still need help, 24/7 customer support is available to get you unstuck.

How long does the whole treasure hunt take?

The walk takes about 90 to 120 minutes with optional breaks, but you control the pace. You can stop for coffee, sit on a square, or even pause and come back another day. The game picks up where you left off.

Do I need any special equipment or app to play?

You need a smartphone with the Questo app installed, which you download after booking your ticket. The app guides you through the game and shows you the map, riddles and hints at each stop.
