About this experience

This is an escape game through the heart of Como. A dozen clues placed in the streets and shops of the old town, that only the smartest will find.

Hunt for clues, crack codes and solve puzzles - just like in a great escape room. You’ll find hidden symbols in a record store or a cryptic message in a pizzeria. Every object is a piece of a bigger puzzle. The challenges become increasingly more difficult.

This is no game for kids: we recommend active participation from age 16. You’ll need to unleash all your brainpower to unravel the mystery. Only together with your team of brainiacs, you’ll master this game.

The game unfolds in the city centre, starting at Piazza Cavour and going towards Porta Torre. You'll not only pass by Como's iconic landmarks but also uncover some hidden gems that only few visitors come across. Don't settle for a usual tourist outing – try this escape game!
