Dracula’s Secret Journal in Bucharest: Self Guided Exploration Game

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the shadowed backstreets of Bucharest. You will explore 11 different locations while following the story of a foreign scholar with a family secret searching for a lost journal tied to a royal bloodline. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. The route stays in the old town, blending real history with rumors only longtime residents know.

At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.
