About this activity

Milan, 1875. You are Serafina Parisi, master thief and chosen agent of the goddess Urania, tasked with recovering sacred stars stolen and hidden inside the city's most powerful palaces. Armed with nothing but your phone and your wits, you have one night to infiltrate 12 of Milan's grandest landmarks and steal them back.

This self-guided city game uses the Questo app to lead you through 12 chapters across Milan's historic center. Start anytime at Porta Venezia, play entirely at your own pace, and pause whenever you like. No guide or fixed schedule, just you, the city, and a heist 150 years in the making.

Your route winds past some of Milan's most magnificent addresses: Palazzo Rocca Saporiti, Villa Reale (GAM), Palazzo Serbelloni, Palazzo Reale, the Duomo di Milano, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and Teatro alla Scala. Crack codes, decode mirror text, and solve ciphers at every stop.

Suitable for all ages. Comfortable walking shoes recommended. Download the free Questo app to begin.
