Milan: Leonardo da Vinci Self-Guided Escape Game

Outwit the Devil across 10 real Milan locations — and save the Last Supper.


This Milan Leonardo da Vinci escape game places you at the center of a centuries-old mystery, following the footsteps of history's most restless mind through the streets he actually walked. Starting from Piazza del Duomo, you will decode clues at real landmarks, solve puzzles, and uncover the hidden history of Renaissance Milan — no guide, no fixed schedule, no prior knowledge required.

The story begins with Leonardo himself standing watch in the dark of Santa Maria delle Grazie, determined to catch whoever keeps defacing his greatest work. When he discovers it is the Devil, a bargain is struck — and you, his most trusted student, are tasked with protecting the Last Supper across ten carefully chosen stops through the city.

The route weaves through locations directly tied to Leonardo's years in Milan: the Duomo, where he submitted his own architectural proposals; the Ambrosiana Library, which holds his original Codex Atlanticus; and the vineyard gifted to him by Ludovico il Moro as payment for painting the Last Supper. Each stop layers historical fact into the game's narrative.

Powered by the free Questo app, the experience is designed for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups alike. The difficulty is rated easy, making it accessible to all ages without sacrificing genuine intellectual engagement.
