Itinerary

We meet our guide by the Fontana delle Tiare, just beside St. Peter's Square. Here the teams come together, the rules of the game are explained, and the first clues are handed out before we set off.
We explore one of the most famous squares in the world while the hunt keeps the family moving. The clues lead us to the colonnade designed by Bernini, the two monumental fountains, and the towering obelisk at its center. Our guide shares the stories behind each one, and every discovery brings the team closer to the final prize.
The hunt continues inside St. Peter's Basilica, the most important church in Christianity and a real treasure trove of world-famous art. With our guide close at hand, families follow the last clues among the masterpieces, and the adventure closes with a special prize for the winning team.
