The story
In this game adaptation of Vilmos Kondor’s acclaimed crime novel series, the well-known investigative journalist Gordon Zsigmond follows the trail of a ruthless killer.
After a chilling murder at the Abbázia Café, Gordon knows this case is dirty. He needs help from people like you. People who work fast when puzzles are involved.
Are you ready to come to his aid in this dark, noir-inspired mission?
“Modern times have caught up with Gordon as well. Although I have always liked to think of him as someone who stands at the forefront of progress.
Through the collaboration of Open Books and Landventure, a truly unique reading-promotion game has been created. One that blends the characters and locations of the Budapest Noir series with smartphone-based virtual reality and the real city of Budapest itself. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
So my crime series has now conquered new platforms as well. I hope you will enjoy this game, whose text I personally wrote.”
— Kondor Vilmos

I'm a huge fan of the book series, so I jumped right into the mission. It was a special treat to relive the story in a game format this time. Thank you! :)
It was a great game in the heart of the city center. We would love to try the other games as well. The Budapest noir atmosphere added an extra spice to the game. Great initiative, keep it up!
This game, like the others, was very exciting and challenging. It's wonderful to discover the city's hidden treasures that we don't even notice in today's fast-paced world.
Very good program, we had a great time, and we look forward to the next mission. We recommend it to anyone looking for an adventurous day in the heart of the capital. ☺️
