Morning light spills down the red-brick arcades of Piazza Maggiore as your group unlocks the Let's Roam app and steps into Bologna's living map. Cobbled streets hum with café traffic, the Two Towers watch like old city guards, and the porticoes—long arches that lean over sidewalks—guide you from clue to clue. The scavenger hunt turns the city into a playground of plaques, statues, and small details that an ordinary walk can miss.
