Date: June 1, 2022 @ 10:00 am – 13:00 pm
Location: Foisor Faleza, Galati
The city of Galati, with its sweet scent of linden and lapped by the waves of the Danube, is not just a picturesque place that celebrates local fish with an annual festival. Along its cobbled streets and alongside its historic buildings lurk secrets about one of the greatest spies of the last century – Vera Atkins.
On 1 June 2022, a group of brave and enthusiastic adventurers gathered at Foisor Faleza, ready to travel back in time to the tumultuous era of the 1960s. Times were tense, with the world divided between two superpowers. But from the shadows, Vera Atkins called on those present for help on a vital mission. Rumour had it that a new weapon, still in the design phase, threatened to change the course of history and the balance of power between these two dominant spheres.
For the participants in this urban treasure hunt, the stakes were clear: failure of the mission could radically transform lives, jeopardising contemporary comforts and freedoms. At every clue, every riddle, there was a constant “Tick-tock. Tick-tock.”, reminding them of the still passage of time and the urgency of the mission.
The adventure was marked by excitement, mystery and surprising discoveries about the city and its past unknown to many of its inhabitants. As the trail revealed Galati’s hidden secrets, participants learned not only about the intriguing history of espionage, but also about sacrifice, courage and determination.
At the end of the trail, with the mission successfully accomplished, a new appreciation for the city and the unsung heroes of the past was earned. And as the clock of history ticked on, participants were reminded of a valuable lesson: every moment counts, and history is full of unsung heroes who shape the world we live in today.
