We love history and hidden passages—what should we do?

Try the Genoa: Hidden Secrets and Noble Palaces quest. You’ll follow puzzles through Renaissance palaces, ancient gates, and tucked-away courtyards that most tourists never find.

Can a group of friends do this together?

How long does a typical quest take, and when can we start?

Most quests last 1–2 hours and you can begin any time—morning, afternoon, or evening—no booking required.

Do we need to know Italian to play?

No. All quests are available in English and easy to follow, so you can just download and start exploring.

What makes a Questo quest different from a standard walking tour?

Instead of just listening to facts, you’re part of the story—solving puzzles and discovering secret corners. Think of it as a self-guided walking adventure mixed with an outdoor escape game.

About the destination

About Genoa

In Genoa, Questo turns a walk through Italy into a self-guided city game. Pick one of 4 active Questo quests, follow clues on your phone, solve puzzles, and unlock a story as you move from stop to stop. There is no guide to meet and no fixed start time, so you can begin when the day works for you. Genoa works well for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights. Each quest gives you a route, a reason to look closer, and small challenges that make the city feel interactive. Use the game as a playful way to plan time around local places such as Palazzo San Giorgio and Porta Soprana. It suits couples, families, groups of friends, and solo explorers who like flexible outdoor activities. Choose a compact set of walking games, pause whenever you want, and turn time in Genoa into a walk with a plot.
