Budapest Jewish Quarter: Outdoor Escape Game

Unravel a detective story while exploring one of Budapest's most storied neighbourhoods.


This Budapest Jewish Quarter outdoor escape game turns a neighbourhood walk into an interactive adventure, guiding you through hidden courtyards, striking murals, and landmark synagogues as you piece together a compelling mystery on your phone.

The experience centres on Olympus Peraux, a world-famous fictional detective whose case unfolds location by location as you solve each challenge. Precise directions appear automatically on your screen, so navigating the quarter is effortless and stress-free.

Because the game runs entirely on your phone, you set the tempo. Linger at a café, study a mural for as long as you like, or move briskly from clue to clue — the story waits for you.

Tour Highlights

Visit the largest synagogue in Europe, the Great Synagogue on Dohány Street, at the very start of your adventure.

Play detective by solving location-based puzzles that reveal the next chapter of Olympus Peraux's case.

Discover lesser-known spots including the Sisi Statue, the Temple of Heroes, and the leafy Klauzál Park.

Read a page from the first sports newspaper ever published in Hungary, unearthed as part of the narrative.

All directions and clues are delivered to your phone, making this a seamless mix of tour, escape game, and treasure hunt.

Encounter vibrant street art on Rumbach Street and the NepSport Mural, each one tied directly to the storyline.
