About this quest

Milan, 1640. The city murmurs with fear—tonight, a young woman will be burned for witchcraft. 

You're just a humble canal boat driver, no hero. But when her eyes meet yours, everything changes. She begs for help, and you know the secret waterways of the Navigli better than anyone. Messages must be passed. Magical objects found. Allies trusted—or betrayed.

Step into a mysterious, moonlit adventure through Milan’s canals. Solve real-world puzzles, follow clues through hidden alleys and bridges, and work together with friends or family to rewrite fate. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a story of courage, magic, and connection, waiting to be lived. Will you save her… or arrive too late?

Highlights

  • Visit the “little gate” that guards the medieval walls of the city

  • See the church built right on the spot where the bishop of Milan witnessed a divine event

  • Explore the area where heretics and witches were condemned to death

  • Discover the alley where men used to wash the city’s laundry with chimney ash

The mission: Your story in Milan

It’s 1640, and tonight they will be burning a witch at the stake. You tend to avoid these spectacles, being a humble canal boat driver– that is, until the young woman accused of witchcraft turns to you for help. 

You must collaborate with her accomplices, pass on messages, and find magical objects to help her escape on the city’s secretive waterways that you know better than anyone. If there’s anyone in Milan capable of saving her from this terrible fate, it’s you.
