About this quest

The mission: Your story in Genoa

For centuries, whispers of a legendary manuscript, The Code of Thrift, have echoed through the alleys of Genoa.
Now you hold the first clue. A letter with only a handful of cryptic instructions and one location.

The path ahead won't be easy. Every hidden detail in the city holds a lesson of the code. But you're not the only one searching. The Congregation of Squanderers, a secretive syndacate that thrives on waste and excess, will do everything in their power to ensure the Code remains lost forever.

Good to know before you play

  • Varied terrain/elevation, may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
  • Family friendly
  • Fun to do as a couple
  • Route open 24/7 but better during daylight hours

Ottimo percorso, scorrevole, molto interessanti anche le informazioni, poco note, sui vari luoghi. Gioco divertente e istruttivo da fare in compagnia. Complimenti

One of the most beautiful city escapes ever created. It takes you on a tour of the city that includes not only the most stunning spots but also the lesser-known ones. An absolute must-do! with friends or family and also if you live in Genoa!!
