Castello Estense Ferrara: walk and solve

Castello Estense is a castle at Largo Castello 1 in Ferrara that you can see during both featured walking games. It gives your group an architectural focus beyond the church buildings and squares elsewhere along the routes. Take a pause to look at the exterior before returning to the activity on your phone. Your companions can compare the details they notice, making the sightseeing a shared conversation too. If you want a separate castle visit, organise that independently and allow extra time around the walk. The game connects several city places through a story; its duration does not have to describe your whole day.

Secrets of Ferrara passes Castello Estense while you help Niccolò III d’Este recover a fabled sword. Along its route you see the portal of Cattedrale di San Giorgio, Torre dell'Orologio and the city square near the bicycles. Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Ferrara passes the castle too, following a detective case through the historic centre. Its route includes Chiesa di San Domenico, the castle and Corso Martiri della Libertà. Choose the sword mission if its fictional objective appeals to your companions, or the investigation if you prefer a case to keep discussing while moving between real city sights together.

Both Ferrara games cost €19.95 per team, last 1.5 to 2 hours and allow at most 4 players sharing one phone. Secrets of Ferrara works in the browser on your own phone without an app. The detective option uses the free Loquiz app. Decide on the story and device before starting, then make the discussion open to all companions regardless of who reads the screen. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Add time separately for other Ferrara visits, keeping the self-guided walk flexible around the plans you make with your group.
