You step out of Piazza Cermenati with a buzzing phone and a single message: a mystery stitched into cobbles, shop windows and lakefront alleys. The first clue waits beneath a shop sign; the breeze off Lake Como seems to nudge you toward the next riddle. For sixty minutes the city reconfigures itself from backdrop to gameboard.
