Know more about Centro Storico
This escape game is a self-guided, outdoor puzzle adventure through Varese’s city centre, starting at Piazza Monte Grappa and unfolding toward Piazza San Lorenzo. Instead of a conventional sightseeing tour, you hunt for a dozen clues hidden in streets and shops, crack codes and solve progressively harder puzzles. You’ll pass iconic landmarks and uncover hidden gems, turning Varese sightseeing into an interactive, brain-teasing experience.
The game is available in English, Italian and German. After booking, you’ll receive your tickets for the escape game across Varese by SMS, so make sure the phone number you provide can receive texts.
The route unfolds through the city centre and public transportation options nearby are wheelchair accessible. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness to walk between clue locations, and the experience allows service animals. Plan to be on your feet and wear comfortable shoes.
The game requires a minimum of two participants and is designed as a team activity. Each person must bring a charged smartphone with internet access - if only one phone has internet you can use its hotspot - and wear comfortable shoes for walking through the old town.
This escape game is not recommended for unaccompanied children under 16 because the puzzles become increasingly difficult. You can still book it as a family activity if younger players are accompanied and actively participate, but expect a challenging experience best suited to ages 13 and up when accompanied.
Yes. The game is explicitly team-oriented - you’ll need collective brainpower to find hidden symbols (for example in a record store) and decode cryptic messages (even in a pizzeria) as you move from Piazza Monte Grappa toward Piazza San Lorenzo. It’s a strong Group-Friendly activity for adults and older teens who enjoy puzzles, problem-solving and immersive city exploration.
