Frequently asked questions

Do I need a physical ticket or printout?

Mobile tickets are accepted; your phone will be used to receive clues and communicate with the remote guide.

Which messaging app is required?

WhatsApp or Telegram is required so the live operator can send clues and coordinate your progress.

Is this suitable for children or strollers?

The operator notes stroller accessibility, but caregivers should expect uneven pavement and occasional steps—children should be old enough to follow clues or be accompanied closely.

History

Rome’s modern street grid overlays remnants of Imperial, medieval, and Baroque eras—many ghost stories draw from real events and forgotten corners of the urban fabric.

Conservation

Stick to sidewalks and marked areas, avoid climbing on monuments, and pack out trash; low-impact tourism helps preserve fragile archaeological sites.

Adventure tips

Bring a power bankThe experience runs through your phone and messaging app—carry a full power bank to avoid a dead battery mid-game.

Wear grippy walking shoesCobblestones and stairs are frequent; choose supportive shoes with good traction to move quickly and safely.

Ensure mobile data or local SIMYou’ll need constant internet for messages and links—buy a short-term local SIM or confirm roaming to avoid interruptions.

Start in daylight when possibleClues are easier to read and sites easier to find during daylight; evenings add atmosphere but increase navigation difficulty.

Recommended gear

Supportive walking shoes: Protect ankles and maintain traction on cobbles and city stairs.
Fully charged smartphone + power bank: Required for receiving clues, links, and real-time guidance.
Reusable water bottle: Stay hydrated during prolonged walking, especially in hot months.
Light rain jacket or windbreaker: Spring and fall showers can appear suddenly; a packable layer keeps you dry and comfortable.
