The experience
Sighisoara's fortress quest puts you in the role of a medieval defender protecting the city from invaders. Your smartphone becomes your guide: at each of the 10 stops (from Citadel Square through hidden corners to the Weapon Museum and beyond). You read a clue, solve a puzzle, and unlock a wartime story tied to that location. The game gives you exact directions so you don't need a map, GPS or a live guide. When you guess the answer correctly, the secret history of that place reveals itself.
The route takes roughly 70 minutes to complete, but there's no time limit. You can pause mid-quest, come back hours later, and pick up where you left off. Along the way you'll find panoramic viewpoints worth photographing and discover a local craft store tucked into the medieval streets. Each solved puzzle leads you deeper into the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage city, mixing storytelling with exploration and puzzle-solving in one activity.
After you buy the quest, an access code arrives by email. Head to the starting point, open the app, enter your code, and begin. The clues guide you through the city center step by step, so navigation is built into the game itself.
