The experience

About this quest

Explore Torino slowly, following hidden symbols, mysterious mascheroni and curious architectural details from Il Duomo to the Fontana Angelica. Discover the ancient Porta Palatina, local cafés and bakeries, quiet viewpoints and places often missed on standard tours. Follow clues, solve a few light challenges and explore at your own pace. Stop for coffee, pause for a day, and continue when you’re ready. This is Torino beyond the checklist — slow, curious and full of stories.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Curious visitors and families with school-age children who like spotting mascheroni masks, old symbols and odd architectural details will enjoy this slow, easy walk from the Duomo to Piazza Solferino, with light puzzles, cafés and bakeries along the way. Anyone hoping for a dark occult tour, or not up to covering about 33 km, even split across several days, should pick something else.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

    Follow a self-guided trail through lesser-known corners of Torino, pausing at local cafés, bakeries (like the locals do) and viewpoints along the way. Look closely at buildings, spot hidden symbols, answer light challenges and uncover their stories. Take breaks whenever you like — stop for the day and return later to continue your exploration.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at the Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista, Turin's Duomo, and finishes at Piazza Solferino. It is not a loop, so you end up in a different part of the centre, after stops along Via Milano, Via Cavour, Via dell'Arsenale and Via Vittorio Alfieri.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Players typically take around 10.5 hours, walking and puzzles included, over about 33 km. Most people will not do it in one go: you can pause for coffee or for a day and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is a family favourite with an easy difficulty level and only light challenges, so school-age children can join in spotting symbols and solving clues. Given the total distance, plan to play it in shorter sessions with breaks.
Is it free, and can we play as a group?
It is free to play. Friends or family can walk it together, following the clues on a phone and solving the puzzles as a group at your own pace.
Do we need to book a time or bring anything?
No booking is needed: start any time, with no group to join and no guide. Make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a power bank, since the app leads you from stop to stop and sets the puzzles.
