Charge your phone and bring a power bank
The tour runs through an app and photo tasks can drain batteries — a full charge and backup power are essential.
Wear supportive shoes
Expect 1.5–2 hours on cobblestones and short flights of steps; closed-toe shoes with grip make the route easier.
Book per team, not per person
Purchase one ticket for each team of 2–4 people as instructed in the booking notes.
Start in daylight and allow extra time
Begin earlier if you want to explore sights after finishing; poor light makes reading clues and photos harder.
Smartphone with internet access
Required to receive instructions, solve puzzles, and submit photo tasks.
Comfortable walking shoes
Cushioned, grippy shoes help on cobbles and short staircases.
Portable charger (power bank)
Keeps your device running through the two‑hour game and extra exploring afterward.
Water bottle and light jacket
Hydration and a light layer help in spring and unpredictable weather; in summer choose breathable fabrics.
