Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples and families with puzzle-age children, staying in Cefalù or visiting from Palermo, get a playful way through the old town: the Cathedral, Osterio Magno and the medieval wash house, tied to a story about a father missing for 12 years. Pick a guided tour instead if you want someone to answer questions as you go, or if close to two hours on foot is too much.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Monumento ai Caduti and finishes at Molo 19 beach, so it does not return to the start. On the way you pass Chiesa di Santa Maria al Borgo, Osterio Magno, the medieval wash house on the Cefalino, the Cathedral of Cefalù and Bastione di Capo Marchiafava.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about 1 hour 45 minutes, walking and puzzles included. The route covers about 1.8 km through the old town's alleys, churches and monuments, with 12 stops in total. You can pause at any point and continue later.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged family friendly and suits school-age children who enjoy solving challenges and cracking codes along the way. The story follows the search for a father who disappeared 12 years ago, so it has an emotional thread that older children will follow best.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on one phone. There is no set time to book and no group to join: you start whenever you like at Monumento ai Caduti and play at your own pace.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
It is a self-guided walk through the old town's streets and alleys, so most of it is outdoors. If the weather turns, you can pause the quest and continue later from where you stopped.
