Sofia's Communism Era: Self-Guided Exploration Game

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the soviet avenues of Sofia. You will explore 12 different locations while following the story of a reluctant ghost hunter searching for a forgotten identity buried in the past. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. The route winds mainly in the city center, blending Soviet-era history with tales of vanished revolutionaries. Perfect for history buffs, mystery lovers and urban explorers.

Starting from Cathedral Saint Nedelia, the stops are spaced an average of around 350m apart, with each location taking around 7 min to complete. The route also passes through The National Art Gallery, Temple of Bulgarian Martyr, Crystal Garden and Prince's Garden. At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.

DISCLAIMER: You will explore by yourself using the Questo app on your phone. No physical guide or stranger groups will be involved. The full route covers approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) and takes around 1:30h to complete. You can play it any day, at any time. Languages available: EN.
