Arnolfo's Tower Florence: walk and solve

Secrets of Florence lists Arnolfo's Tower, Loggia dei Lanzi, Statue of Dante Alighieri and Basilica of Santa Croce among its route points. The game takes 1.5 to 2 hours and asks you, in its fictional story, to help Cosimo de’ Medici recover his lost baston of glory. Follow that search on your phone and make the decisions with your companions as you walk. The tower is a point on this city game route, so plan any tower visit separately from the activity. Secrets works in your phone’s browser with no app needed, keeping the game accessible from the device your team shares.

Sherlock Holmes murder mystery in Florence takes you through a detective case from Piazza della Signoria past the Uffizi to the cathedral. These places frame the route described for the investigation. You follow the fictional case on foot at your own pace, discussing what you think with the rest of your team. This option uses the free Loquiz app and has a playing time of 1.5 to 2 hours. Choose the detective story when your group wants an investigation to focus on. The missing object mission in Secrets gives a different reason to walk, so choose the story as well as the places that interest you.

A Florence game costs €19.95 per team and allows at most 4 players on one phone. You can start whenever you want, every day, with 12 months of validity. That leaves you free to choose a day that fits the whole group and to allow time for the activity alongside your other plans. Couples, friends, families and colleagues can use the format for a shared walk with something to solve. Check your chosen game’s phone setup before beginning, then keep everyone included by sharing the task and listening to different suggestions. The game is self-guided, so your own group follows the experience together.
