Guess we started this too...
Guess we started this too late, but had trouble finding anything in the dark. Also many of the places we were supposed to retrieve information from were blocked off. Needs updating.
Operator response
I am really sorry for the frustrating experience you had with the blocked locations and trying to navigate in the dark. We want to learn more about the exact spots you encountered so we can update the route and fix this. Please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can investigate and offer you a free quest to try the experience again.

Dark Dark History
I’d recommend you Uber to the first location or plan on a long initial walk! The experience was a fun way to kill time on our last day in Brasov but we were expecting more time around the city center rather than a 20+ minute walk to the first location! After that the walks were much shorter but we were already a bit burnt out before we began. Otherwise a lot of fun and well done! More of a history walking tour than a game.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the experience overall and found it fun and well done. We appreciate your note about the initial walk to the starting point — we’ll look into how we can make that clearer for future players. Your comments about the balance between history and gameplay are also very helpful as we continue to refine the experience. We hope you’ll join us again on another quest in the future.

Fun
I loved the game. It was a fun way to explore Brasov, and learn about the history of the city. I did not know a lot of things. So it was fun, we had a nice walk all around Brasov, and we learned to. I do recommend.

Felt like Asia Express
It was funny and with adventures. Although I have passed through those places before, I did not pay so much attention to them and did not know their story. We also liked that the narration was audio, and the voice made the game more interesting and spooky. We will definitely play other games.
Operator response
It’s fantastic to know you had such a fun and adventurous time discovering the stories behind familiar spots! The audio narration really does bring an extra layer of excitement. We can't wait to see you again for more thrilling experiences!
