You step out beneath the cathedral dome, smartphone in hand, and Florence rearranges itself into a live crime board. Cobblestones echo your footsteps as the Arno watches from a distance, daring you to find clues before the clock runs out.
The Walter Case threads through streets shaped by centuries of trade and Medici power. As you trace suspects from piazza to palazzo you pass Renaissance façades, sandstone bridges over an alluvial plain, and neighborhoods where leatherworkers and bookbinders keep old crafts alive. The narrative borrows local texture—hidden courtyards, narrow alleys and public squares—so the city’s history becomes part of the puzzle.
Culturally the walk plays on Florence’s investigative spirit: art, politics and patronage colliding in plain sight. Geology shows up too—the Arno’s floodplain sculpted this dense urban fabric, concentrating landmarks in a compact area ideal for a timed urban game.
Practical guidance: the game runs about 2.5 hours and is smartphone-driven; teams up to six can follow divergent routes and choose which suspects to question. It’s wheelchair- and stroller-accessible where public paths allow, but expect some uneven stone and busy pedestrian zones. Bring a charged phone and a small power bank, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan to start with at least three hours to spare if you want to explore beyond the storyline. Public transit drops you near most start points, and 24/7 online support is available if you get stuck. Pace your team, keep awareness of traffic in busier squares, and use this as a way to see Florence on your own terms—part scavenger hunt, part walking tour, all in the city’s living history.
The game is designed for about 150 minutes (2.5 hours); allow extra time if you plan to pause for photos or further sightseeing.
Teams can be up to six people sharing one account and device; you can also split into smaller groups and compare results.
Most public areas and surfaces are wheelchair and stroller accessible, though some historic streets have cobbles—check local sections in the app for alternate paths.
24/7 online support is provided through the app; use hints sparingly to keep the challenge while avoiding prolonged delays.
