About this activity

Follow a self-guided mystery trail through Rome inspired by Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, decoding Illuminati symbols across nine iconic landmarks while uncovering hidden histories behind the city's most famous monuments. This immersive app-based quest blends sightseeing with interactive storytelling, letting you explore at your own pace without a guide.

Cardinals are disappearing across Rome. The word "Earth" is carved into the first victim's skin. Step into the role of Robert Langdon and follow the Illuminati's trail before time runs out.

Trace cryptic symbols through 9 iconic locations, from Bernini's masterpieces to the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Vatican. Decode ciphers, rescue hostages, and unravel a plot connecting Rome's greatest landmarks through the four elements.

Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start playing at Piazza della Repubblica. No guide, no schedule, explore at your own pace.

Discover stories most visitors miss: Michelangelo's hidden role in a basilica built over Roman baths, the 900 men it took to move one obelisk, and a secret passage connecting the Vatican to a medieval castle.

Perfect for fans of Angels & Demons, history lovers, or anyone exploring Rome. About 90 minutes, 9 stops to Vatican Square.
