Vice City Bucharest: The Capital Becomes a Real-Life Game
Bucharest, 19-22 November 2026. Event created by GAMEXPERT
What if, for four days, Bucharest became your very own game map?
Between 19 and 22 November 2026, Vice City Bucharest transforms the capital into an urban open-world, inspired by the GTA universe and gaming culture. It's not a video game, it's not a festival organised in a single location, nor is it a regular party. It's a real-life interactive experience where the city becomes the playground, and participants build their own path.
The event is created by GAMEXPERT and takes place across several areas of Bucharest, through a network of over 200 partner locations: restaurants, bars, clubs, entertainment venues, shops, and other points of interest, such as historical monuments, emblematic buildings, or unique spots.
How do you participate?
To join the game, you need to purchase a VC Pass from the official platform gamexpert.ro. After purchase, you'll receive access to the interactive map, participating locations, missions, the scoring system, and the event leaderboards.
Each participant can choose their own route, explore the city, and complete missions to accumulate XP (experience points).
Missions are of several types:
- Location Check-in: visit a partner location and scan the QR code to complete the free mission.
- Purchase Missions: purchase a product, service, or experience from a participating location and upload a photo of the receipt to the platform for mission validation.
- Special Missions: themed challenges, special activities, and experiences prepared in collaboration with the event partners.
The more you explore, the more opportunities you'll have to accumulate points and climb the leaderboard.
What are the rules?
Vice City Bucharest is an event exclusively for individuals aged 18 and over.
Participation requires purchasing a pass, adhering to the official rules, and completing missions according to the platform's instructions.
Each mission has its own validation conditions. Visits are confirmed by scanning QR codes at locations, and missions involving purchases are validated by uploading proof of purchase.
Participants can take part individually or organise their own routes with friends. Progress, accumulated experience, and leaderboard positions are tracked via the Vice City Bucharest platform.
What can you win?
Exploring the city also comes with rewards. Participants will be able to compete in daily leaderboards and a general leaderboard, with prizes from the gaming universe and special experiences.
Prizes include VIP experiences, a TV and PlayStation 5 console bundle, prizes from partners and participating locations. The grand prize for the overall competition winner is a city break for two.
Beyond the competition, participants will have access to special activations, parties, experiences at partner locations, and events dedicated to the gaming community.
