The experience
About this quest
This game will drag you into the heart of a dark Venice pulsing with secrets. Not just riddles hidden among the wonders of the Serenissima, but shadows creeping among its inhabitants. In an eerie carnival, behind the impenetrable Bautta—the ultimate Venetian mask—hides an enigmatic, sinister figure. Its gaze tracks your every move from the alleyways' darkness. Are you brave enough to accept the challenge and unveil what lurks in the shadows? Or will the mystery swallow you whole?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples and friends who enjoy dark Venetian legends and a murder mystery get about two hours of medium-difficulty riddles on a 3.2 km walk from the Doge's Palace via Libreria Acqua Alta and the Rialto Bridge to Ponte delle Tette. Under-12s can join with a parent guiding. Choose something else if you want a live guide, or if a sinister masked figure feels too dark for kids.
