Discover Budapest's Hidden Treasure
I'm not your guide - I'm your Captain! Pirate Penguin is a live-action hidden role game across Budapest's wildest districts, but beware: Not every crewmate is on your side...
You and your fellow adventurers are each given a secret role with bizarre rules and hidden goals, and it's up to you to figure out who's behaving strangely - and why. Can you solve the puzzles of the Treasure Hunt without getting distracted by the other roles?
Whether you're here to solve the mystery, embrace the chaos, or just mess with your friends, Pirate Penguin is an experience you'll never forget!
⚓ No scripted lectures. No boring history lessons. Just pure adventure, hosted by a Penguin Game Master
🐧 Solve puzzles, crack codes, and discover secret locations across Budapest
🏴☠️ Outwit traitors, expose hidden roles, and claim the treasure before the Kraken finds you
Is David whispering to a lamppost because he's The Haunted Sailor, or is he just a bit weird? Is Maria dramatically narrating everything because she is The Storyteller, or does she really always talk like that? You won't know until the big reveal at the end of the game, but it will be hilarious nonetheless!
Shortly before the game starts, the Game Master will handpick a role for you from a list of over 50 roles, ensuring it goes well with the other roles he's planning to include in this session. You will receive an email with your role card, a short explanation about your ability/goal, and some tips and tricks on how to play your specific role.

Is prior experience with treasure hunts or social deduction games required?
Not at all! Whether you’re a seasoned pirate or a sailor new to the game,
everyone is welcome. I’ll explain the rules clearly before we start and you can always ask me questions during the game.
What if I don't like the role I get?
I may be a pirate who mutinied another captain once (the sharks had a feast that day), but I am not heartless.
If you don't like your role, please send me an email before the game starts, and we will find a solution together
(in most cases, you will get another role).
What if it's raining on the day of the game? Will the game be cancelled / postponed?
Arrrr, what do you take me for, a landlubber?! A real pirate navigates his ship through the wildest of storms, so we will play the game just as planned
even if there's a little rain. That said, if it's raining so much that Noah starts building an Ark again, I will cancel the event and fully refund
every participant.
What currencies do you accept?
You can pay in either Hungarian Forint (online or cash) or Euro (cash only).
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes, of course! While we will be in an area with many options to buy food and drinks, you are free to bring your own.
Just keep in mind that the Hungarian law forbids the consumption of alcoholic beverages outside, so please only bring non-alcoholic drinks.
What language will be spoken during the event?
Most of the events are in English, but 1-2 times a month I am also hosting a German session! If (German) or (Deutsch) is written next to the event in the
calendar, the event will be in German. If not, the event will be in English.
