The experience

About this quest

 Milan. A heinous murder shakes the city. To solve the case, they didn't call a detective, but a historian. Why you? Perhaps because of your profound knowledge of the life and history of the Sforzas? 

Between enigmas and secrets of the past, you delve into a solitary investigation where every discovery risks dragging you into the abyss... 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Adults and friend groups who like dark history and crime stories will get a moody murder investigation steeped in Sforza-era secrets, walking 3.5 km from San Eustorgio and the Portinari Chapel through Porta Ticinese to the Galleria and the Duomo. Puzzles are medium difficulty, and the walk takes just over two hours. Families with young children or anyone who dislikes grim murder plots should pick a lighter quest.
