Explore central Sofia through a story-led outdoor scavenger hunt inspired by the city’s literary heritage. In “The Unlucky Apprentice,” you play a clumsy publishing intern from the early 20th century, sent on a rush mission to gather key information for a special magazine issue—just after the instructions get soaked in coffee.

What to expect

Follow a route in the Graf Ignatiev area, uncover forgotten tales about great Bulgarian writers, and tackle a series of logic-based challenges that reward sharp thinking and team spirit. Will you save the anniversary issue in time?

How it works

The entire game runs outdoors with real interaction with the city. You solve puzzles in your phone’s browser while a digital map shows the play zone. Clues are found in the streets and landmarks around you. The total route is about 2–3 km, and you move at your team’s pace. You can also opt into a shared leaderboard to add a competitive edge.

Who it’s for

Play in a team—there’s no hard limit on group size, though 3–5 people is most comfortable. The puzzles are challenging for children, so at least one adult participant is required.

• Team-based outdoor city game “The Unlucky Apprentice” with 6 challenges
