Highlights of Milan: Sforza, the Lost Duke Exploration Game

Uncover the secrets of Milan through clues, stories, and iconic landmarks at your own pace.


This Milan exploration game takes you on a self-guided adventure through the heart of one of Italy's most storied cities, weaving together history, mystery, and discovery into a single seamless experience. Guided by your phone, you will follow clues that unlock compelling narratives tied to the city's most iconic locations. It is designed for anyone who wants more than a standard tour.

At each stop, a challenge awaits you before the next chapter of the story is revealed. The game adapts to your pace, so you can linger at any site for as long as you choose. This format works particularly well for curious travelers, families, and small groups looking for an interactive way to engage with Milan.

The route passes through some of the city's most distinguished addresses, from the grandeur of the Duomo di Milano to the quieter character of Piazza Mercanti. Along the way, you will encounter stories that rarely appear in guidebooks, connecting you to the local fabric of the city in a way that conventional tours seldom achieve.

Visit the legendary Teatro alla Scala, Milan's world-renowned opera house, and learn about the artists and dramas that shaped its legacy.
