Medici Secrets and Mysteries: Interactive Walking Tour Game in Florence

Step into 15th-century Florence and unravel the conspiracy that nearly toppled the most powerful family in the Renaissance world.


This Florence interactive walking tour game places you at the center of the Pazzi Conspiracy, the audacious plot to assassinate Lorenzo de Medici. Over nearly two hours, you navigate real historic streets, decode riddles, and piece together one of history's most dramatic political crimes.

Florence in the 1470s was a city of staggering beauty and ruthless ambition. Banking dynasties competed for supremacy, papal alliances shifted overnight, and the line between art patronage and political survival was razor thin. This experience uses that tension as its engine.

The tour unfolds at an entirely self-directed pace, meaning you can pause at a wine window, linger over a gelato, or spend extra time studying the facade of the Duomo before continuing the investigation. The story adapts to your rhythm rather than demanding you keep pace with a crowd.

Each location doubles as both a puzzle checkpoint and a genuine historical landmark. By the time you solve the final clue, you will have covered some of the most significant sites in Renaissance Florence while learning why Botticelli and Michelangelo were drawn into a murder plot.

Tour Highlights

Solve the Pazzi Conspiracy through riddles and puzzles placed at authentic historic locations across the city center.

Explore Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the fortified urban residence that served as the nerve center of Medici power for generations.

Visit Palazzo Vecchio and Strozzi Palace to understand how rival banking families and civic institutions shaped the conspiracy.

Discover how Renaissance masters including Botticelli and Michelangelo were entangled in the political intrigues of the Medici era.

Navigate medieval alleyways and hidden corners of Florence that most visitors walk past without a second glance.

Proceed at your own pace with full flexibility to stop, explore, and resume without losing your place in the investigation.

Reach a satisfying conclusion by determining whether you can protect the Magnificent ruler before his enemies close in.
