About this quest
Pisa, 1501. Banished from your homeland, you and your twin sister Rosa were sent to this city of quiet beauty and hidden resistance. While you sought peace, Rosa chose rebellion—fighting to free the land of your ancestors. But when the French took her, they didn’t imprison her… they cursed her.
Now Rosa fades with each passing day, and only one path remains: uncover the secrets of Pisa’s ancient streets, solve real-world puzzles, and follow the clues to break the witch’s curse before time runs out.
This romantic and dramatic walking quest invites you to explore the heart of Pisa with friends or family. Discover hidden corners, untold stories, and unforgettable moments of connection and courage. Love, legacy, and fate are calling—will you answer?
