Old Town Bologna: Murder Mystery
Bologna, 1880. The trains have arrived, the city buzzes with newfound speed, and Italy is still catching its breath as a young nation. But one thing hasn’t changed - murder still stalks the alleyways.
You are Andrea Satutto, Italy’s most brilliant detective, summoned to crack the case of Giacomo di Pepoli: a powerful man found dead in the heart of Bologna’s old town. Clues hide in plain sight, whispered through cobbled streets and behind noble facades. With every step, you’ll follow the trail, solve puzzles rooted in history, and uncover a story few dare to tell.
Grab your sharpest friends or your bravest family, and walk your way through one of Bologna’s darkest secrets. The truth is waiting—but only if you’re clever enough to find it.
