The mission: Your story in 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
