Italy>Pisa>Romantic Pisa: The Curse of Rosa

Pisa, 1501. Banished from your homeland, you and your twin sister Rosa were sent to this city of quiet beauty and hidden resistance. While you sought peace, Rosa chose rebellion—fighting to free the land of your ancestors. But when the French took her, they didn’t imprison her
 they cursed her.

Now Rosa fades with each passing day, and only one path remains: uncover the secrets of Pisa’s ancient streets, solve real-world puzzles, and follow the clues to break the witch’s curse before time runs out.

This romantic and dramatic walking quest invites you to explore the heart of Pisa with friends or family. Discover hidden corners, untold stories, and unforgettable moments of connection and courage. Love, legacy, and fate are calling—will you answer?

This game is much fun and shows you parts of Pisa you would not come across during a regular visit.

“Mary is a writer, editor and total Tuscanophile. When she isn’t dreamily wandering the streets of Pisa, she’s at her desk, editing brilliant books and searching for the next great story.”

The mission: Your story in Pisa

The year is 1501. After France took hold of Venice, the region of your ancestors, you were banished to Pisa with your twin sister, Rosa. Before long, Rosa joined the rebellion, determined to win back the home of your blood. It didn’t take long for her to get caught.

As punishment, the French reign set witches on Rosa with a terrible curse. You watch her grow weaker every day. Now it’s up to you to discover how to break the curse to save your sister’s life – and maybe the fate of southern Italy.
