The experience

About this quest

Milan, where ancient spirits walk among modern streets. A cloaked figure in a red cap brushes past you—but your hand closes on thin air. 

He turns and pleads: “Help me! I am Francesco Sforza.” The ghost of the Duke, tricked by the Gods of the Underworld, has one day to return to his city. But Milan has changed since 1466, and he is lost. When you agree to help, a mischievous sprite appears: solve the riddles or follow the Duke into the depths of the Underworld.

Explore the city’s most iconic landmarks with new eyes. Solve real-world puzzles, follow clues through Milan’s streets, and uncover the city’s secrets. Walk, think, and connect—this adventure is best shared with friends or family. Will you help the Duke… or be trapped with him forever?
