Rated on 1 provider · Why

  • Rome, Italy
  • Updated November 2, 2026

Solve a Michelangelo-inspired mystery as you explore Rome’s famous sights and hidden corners at your own pace.

About this tour

Follow a trail of clues through Rome in a self-guided scavenger hunt inspired by the rivalry between Leonardo and Michelangelo. Starting at Piazza del Popolo, use your smartphone and the provided city map to make your way from puzzle station to puzzle station. Each stop brings a new challenge and information about the sight around you, taking you past celebrated landmarks and lesser-known corners connected to Rome’s story.

Play at your own pace, pause whenever you like, and pick up the game again when you’re ready. Teams of 1–6 can work together to solve the case; larger groups can split into smaller teams and race to finish first. No tour guide or app download is required: your booking confirmation provides a link to the game websites. The German-language game can be played on another day if plans or weather change, and remains valid for 1 year.

Discover Rome through a playful mix of local sights, storytelling, and puzzles. Gather your team, head to Piazza del Popolo, and start exploring.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
