Overview

Budapest, 16th century. A young man in a turban and harem pants materializes before you, a time traveler whose memory was wiped by the journey. He remembers serving a mysterious master but cannot remember who he is. You agree to help him piece together his identity from clues left behind in the city.

This self-guided city game uses the Questo app to lead you through 14 chapters across 5.25 km of Budapest. Start at the Buda Castle walls, play at your own pace, and follow an Ottoman time traveler from the castle to the river to Rose Hill. No guide or fixed schedule: just you and a mystery to unravel.

Your journey takes you through the Castle District's Turkish cemetery, the Labyrinth beneath the castle, the oldest café in Budapest (1698), the ruins of a medieval church, the Pasha's tomb, the Király Baths, and the mausoleum of Islamic saint Gül Baba on Rose Hill.

Ideal for history lovers, couples, and families. Note: the full route covers 5.25 km and takes just under 2 hours.
