Enter medieval Bologna on the brink of civil war in this self-guided exploration game, and follow a murder through dark alleys, hidden courtyards and whispering stones. Decode hidden symbols on Palazzo Re Enzo, find the secret window of Via Piella and gaze up at the Two Towers, learning how the city was built, who ruled it and how stone, water and faith shaped power.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4 km and takes around 3 hours, with no time limit.

Can you solve the conspiracy before dawn?
