What to expect

You'll collect your materials from Check-out and head into the streets with a booklet containing all the clues, a annotated map and cultural notes. There's no guide shadowing you—you move at your own pace, stopping to examine façades, courtyards and street-level details to crack each puzzle. The hunt runs two hours nominally but you have up to three hours total; factor in that coffee break and lingering over a church interior will eat into solving time. Answers get checked as you go, so you'll know if you're on the right track. History buffs will find the contextual snippets rewarding; competitive types will chase the next clue. Expect a mix of observation, lateral thinking and wandering some less-trampled passages.
