The Experience

“If you get lost, just follow the roofs with eyes,” the woman at the bakery told me, handing over a warm covrig. I didn’t really get what she meant until I was halfway through the Sibiu Old Town exploration game, staring up at those old houses with their sly little attic windows peeking down. The first clue led me to the Lutheran Cathedral—gothic stone, pigeons everywhere, bells echoing off the walls. I stood there longer than I meant to, just listening to the city breathe around me. There’s no rush with this tour; you set your own pace, which honestly felt like a relief after so many guided groups shuffling past.

The app nudged me toward Piata Mare next—the Great Square—and I actually laughed out loud when it congratulated me for solving a riddle about Brukenthal Museum (I guessed wrong twice before getting it). Kids were chasing each other across the cobblestones while someone played accordion near the fountain. The smell of coffee drifted from a terrace where locals leaned in close over tiny cups. At one point, I almost forgot I was playing a game at all—just wandered under those pastel facades and let myself get distracted by street art tucked into an alley.

I probably spent too long on the Bridge of Lies because I tried to eavesdrop on a couple arguing quietly in Romanian (no idea what about). The clue there was trickier than expected—felt oddly proud when I cracked it. You can take breaks whenever you want; nobody’s timing you or hurrying you along. By the end, my feet hurt but my head was buzzing with all these little stories unlocked along 3.5 km of winding streets. Not sure if it was the history or just that feeling of being left alone to explore without a map or guide—either way, I still think about those watchful rooftops sometimes.
