FAQs

LOGISTICS & START TIME
When and where do we start?

Each tour/hunt has specific opening hours, but we strive to make them available every day of the week, all day long – so you can simply start when you’re ready to.

The start point depends on the itinerary you select. You will find the approximate start/end point on the relevant product page. Once you book, you will receive the exact coordinates in the order confirmation.

Treasure hunts last approximately 2 hours.

Tours can be longer, depending on the itinerary you select – you will find more details on each product page. In any case, you are fully in charge: you’re always free to linger, deviate or skip stops.

We currently offer our tours in English and Italian: that’s because clues aren’t AI-generated, but curated by expert copywriters and guides. We seek to add more languages in the future.

Absolutely, but you’ll only be able to activate the tours on one phone at a time. If you want to look from multiple phones, you’ll need to purchase multiple tours.

For the treasure hunt, we price per person: you wouldn’t want someone to miss their tasty reward at the end!

If you are looking for a team-building experience, you’re in the right place: visit our “Corporate” page for more information.

 

Our treasure hunts are designed with team-building and corporations in mind. The adventure is meant to be enjoyed in multiple teams, fostering collaboration and an element of competition. Please visit our “Corporate” page for more information.

Some of the venues we visit do sell alcohol, albeit none are primarily drinking venues or nightclubs. 

At no point is it mandatory to purchase alcohol, but we do mention it when relevant for cultural reference.

Regardless, it is perfectly enjoyable no matter your preferences.

Our adventures are designed for adults and young adults. Children aged 8+ will enjoy it, but will need support from an adult.

GAMEMEPLAY
What do we need to bring?

A charged phone with WhatsApp installed and a functioning data plan. You will need at least one phone per 4-5 people. 

We recommend walking shoes, a portable battery or charger, and appropriate attire for the weather: whilst we factor in plenty of stops, you will be walking some.

Each tour/hunt follows a curated itinerary to highlight different aspects, but you can always expect monuments, hidden gems and tasty eateries!

We guide you directly via Whatsapp with text messages, images and audio files.

Treasure hunts are story-led adventures where you take part in a story and solve puzzles and mysteries; tours are curated itineraries optimised for different desires.

If you’d rather do something fun and different or if you’re with kids (aged 8+), go for the treasure hunt. If you’re more interested in learning and experiencing the city at its fullest, go for one of the tours. 

Each tour follows a curated itinerary that highlights certain aspects of the city.

“All Killer No Filler” tours focus on the must-see, most iconic views of the city. This is for those who want to tick all the boxes and don’t mind sharing space with other visitors! Tickets to go inside iconic museums are not included.

“The Perfect 24H” tours focus on spending a beautiful, relaxing day in the city you’re visiting. You’ll still get iconic views, but expect more hidden corners, beautiful boutiques and tasty delicacies to sample. You’ll encounter some tourists but also enjoy quite corners and pretty backstreets.

“Off-The-Beaten-Path” Tours focus on niche itineraries: they may be taking you to a lesser known part of town or show you the city under a particular cultural lens. Perfect if you’ve got specific interests or don’t want to just see the main sights!

If you’re still unsure, take our quiz to find out what’s right for you.

PAYMENTS
How many tickets do we need?

For treasure hunts, you need a ticket per participant: we gift prizes, special treats and discounts along the way, and it is essential that we maintain trust with our vendors.

For tours, we price by device: you will need a device every 2-5 people.

If you are a large group, discounts apply. Get in touch with our team to get a quote.

We use Stripe to process payments via PayPal and card. If you are a business and would like to pay by bank transfer, that is possible.

If you did not love our experiences by Stop 2, or if you were unable to take part, we offer full refunds. Simply get in touch with our team and we will handle it.

This was a fun way to see the city and some of the not so well known places. The starting point was somewhere we absolutely loved visiting and would never have known about without doing this . The ending point was a highlight and the whole thing was fun and the clues were well thought out. I would thoroughly recommend this.

An engaging and creative tour through the streets of Florence! A very original and unique way to experience the city, from the touristy classics like the duomo and ponte vecchio to more niche and hidden-gem locations.Creative and fun puzzles are littered throughout a simple but compelling story that immerses you in renaissance politics (and even teaches some history for good measure!). Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to explore the streets and have fun at the same time!

This was an absolute highlight of our Florence stay! The clues are filled with so much personality and we explored places we never would have found otherwise. Each spot was so great and incredibly unexpected in their beauty! We were blown away by stop one and even passed places that we then went back to visit the next day. We could’ve stopped at the time, but we were having too much fun! The perfect mix of mystery, drink stops and eateries, as well as solutions if we ever got stuck or lost. We didn’t find a few of the clues, but even so we were directed to our next steps and the process was seamless. My husband and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to explore some lesser known areas of Florence, and seeing the beauty that Florence has to offer. While we were here for 4 days, this remained our favourite for so many reasons! Even if you just want to orient yourself for other hotspots, this was just delight after delight at every turn. We will be telling all our friends and family to complete this on their stay!
