About this tour
Solve puzzles woven through Rome's streets on this 3-hour mobile-guided adventure. Your phone becomes the key to unlocking the city's darker stories as you crack codes and unearth clues scattered across ancient neighbourhoods. A staff member stays with your group, offering hints when you're stuck and keeping the pace brisk. You'll walk Rome differently—focused on shadowy histories and hidden corners rather than the usual postcard sights.

What to expect
You'll spend three hours walking neighbourhoods whilst solving location-based puzzles on your mobile. The staff member accompanying you won't lecture—they'll let you work through clues, then steer you toward the next spot once you've cracked the code. Expect a mix of riddles tied to Roman history, physical searching for hidden details in architecture, and pattern-recognition challenges. The pace is steady but not rushed. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes; you'll cover several kilometres on foot across uneven cobblestones and the occasional slight incline.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required due to distance and terrain. Prams welcome but challenging on some streets. Keep your phone charged and ensure you have mobile data or download the app beforehand. Groups typically go at their own speed with staff support nearby. Best attempted in cooler hours if visiting in summer.
