Venice: Holy Heist Self-Guided Adventure & Walking Game
A 1923 caper through the floating city — solve clues, uncover secrets, and walk where history hides.
This Venice self-guided walking adventure places you at the center of a gripping 1920s heist story, blending puzzle-solving with an exploration of the city's most storied landmarks and tucked-away corners.
You step into the role of Enzo Ricci, a small-time burglar in 1923 Venice, driven by desperation to save his daughter's life. The narrative unfolds across real streets and squares, turning each monument into a chapter of a story that is both personal and historically rooted.
The route connects landmarks such as Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Clocktower, the Columns of Saint Mark and Saint Teodoro, Teatro La Fenice, and Campo Sant'Angelo. Each stop delivers a new clue, a puzzle to crack, and a layer of the city's layered past to absorb at your own pace.
Designed for families, couples, and groups of friends, the game requires no prior knowledge of Venice. All you need is curiosity, a willingness to look closely, and the desire to experience the city through narrative rather than a standard tour script.
Tour Highlights
Follow a self-guided route that spans ten iconic and lesser-known stops across central Venice, from Ponte della Paglia to Palazzo Bellavite.
Solve real-world puzzles embedded in the city's architecture, art, and history at every stage of the adventure.

Discover landmarks including St. Mark's Church, the Royal Gardens, Teatro La Fenice, and Campo Santo Stefano through fresh eyes.
Ideal for groups of any size — families, friends, and couples can all participate without specialist equipment or prior experience.
Rated easy in difficulty, making it accessible for a broad range of ages and fitness levels without compromising on engagement.
