Step into Rome’s shadowy side as you solve clues across haunted piazzas and bridges. You’ll wander at your own pace, uncovering ghost stories from Piazza Navona to Campo de’ Fiori — all guided by your phone. With private access and no schedule to keep, it’s an eerie city quest you’ll remember long after you leave.
I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to get goosebumps in broad daylight, but there we were — standing in Piazza Navona, squinting at our phones and whispering about cursed fountains while a street musician played something oddly cheerful nearby. The game had us chasing clues around Rome’s haunted landmarks, and honestly, the mix of old stones and weird stories made me look at the city differently. There was this moment at Campo de’ Fiori when the smell of roasting chestnuts drifted over, and suddenly the story about Giordano Bruno felt way too close for comfort. Maybe it was just the November chill or maybe… well, who knows?
The best part? No guide hurrying us along — just our little group, arguing over cryptic riddles and trying not to embarrass ourselves in front of locals (who mostly ignored us, except for one old man who winked when we mentioned ghosts). Each stop — Ponte Sisto, Sant’Angelo Bridge — came with its own bit of haunted history. I still laugh thinking about how long it took us to solve the doll hospital clue; my Italian is terrible and I probably called it a “haunted bakery” by mistake. The app fed us stories as we went, some chilling, some just odd. It’s more fun than scary most of the time, but there was this shadow under Ponte Sant’Angelo that made me walk a little faster.
I liked that we could start whenever — no pressure if someone needed a gelato break or got distracted by a street artist painting tiny Colosseums on bottle caps (I bought one). The whole thing felt like wandering through Rome’s backstory with friends, piecing together curses and legends between bites of pizza al taglio. Even now, certain corners feel different to me — like they’re holding onto secrets you only notice if you’re looking for them.
