YOUR FAMILY’S NEXT ADVENTURE
A little curiosity goes a long way.
You've always known you were different. Since childhood, you've heard the whispers of the dead, victims of untold tragedies, desperate to be heard. Over time, the voices faded... until now.
It's September 14th. You've just arrived in Florence for a relaxing holiday.
But as you gaze at the Palazzo Vecchio from your hotel window, a knock at the door pulls you back into a world you thought you'd left behind.
This chilling quest takes you deep into Florence's shadowy past. Solve real-world puzzles, follow ghostly clues, and explore hidden corners of the city where murder, memory, and mystery intertwine.
Will you face what lies beyond the door?
