Behind the Facades

Four riddles that send you inside Bucharest's greatest collections.

Won, not sold

This trail is the prize for finishing another one. There is no way to buy it; it unlocks itself the moment you complete the hunt before it.

What you get

The reward trail. Four museums, four riddles you can only answer once you're through the door — a royal palace, a postal palace, a natural-history hall and a village rebuilt on a lakeshore. Take them in any order, over one long day or two short ones: the two northern museums are a metro ride from the centre, the walking between them is flat, and each museum charges its own admission on top of the trail.

  • 4 riddles, checked by the server as you solve them
  • A hint whenever you are stuck. It costs a few points.
  • A running score, a time, and a certificate at the end
  • Nothing to pay at any stop along the way

Where does it go?

That is the game. A hunt tells you nothing but the first riddle; the place it points at is what you work out, and printing the list here would be printing the answers. What we will say is the shape of it: 4 riddles, 6.5 km, about A full day, and every stop is somewhere you can reach and see without paying an admission.
