What to expect
You'll start the app and receive your first clue. Each puzzle solved points you towards the next location—a palazzo, piazza, or church—where another riddle awaits. The route strings together Mantua's highlights naturally, so you're sightseeing while you play. Expect to walk steadily through the centro storico, stopping to read plaques, study facades, and think through clues. The app tracks your progress, and you move forward whenever you're ready. It's genuinely about noticing details most walking tours gloss over.
