Padua isn’t just a city—it’s a well-kept secret in the supernatural world. Legend says it's the first place where magic was woven into everyday life: taught in classrooms, used in jobs, hidden in plain sight. But if that’s true, how has no one ever proven it?
Now, as your flight descends over golden rooftops and ancient piazzas, you know one thing: you won’t leave without answers. Step into Padua’s enchanting streets, where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Solve real-world puzzles, follow mysterious clues, and explore historic corners where the line between normal and magical begins to blur.

The mission: Your story in Padua
Enchanted with bright lights and sprawling color, Padua is the ultimate hidden gem in the guidebook of the supernatural traveler.
Rumored to be the first city to incorporate magic in the school curriculum and in workforce training, Padua has somehow stayed off the radar of world events. All until today.
As your flight descends and you look onto the city, you wonder at its secrets. How can a whole city of people hide the use of magic?
Nevertheless, you intend to find out for yourself.
