Über dieses Abenteuer

You’re a trained Time Travel Agent on a mission to save the very soul of art. History has detected a dangerous plot: someone is planning to assassinate Michelangelo before he sculpts his masterpiece, David. If you fail, the future of art will never be the same.

Your journey begins in 1501 Florence, a city alive with ambition, secrets, and beauty. As you walk through its storied streets, solve real-world puzzles, follow hidden clues, and uncover who’s behind the plot. The past is counting on you.

Perfect for families, friends, or solo adventurers, this quest blends history, mystery, and movement into one unforgettable adventure. Will you protect the legacy—or rewrite it forever?

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in Florence combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 12 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 3480 minutes to complete and covers 3.7km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of Florence.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.
