Siena: Black Ops in Italien

Sunglasses: cover. Selfie stick: prop. Matching hats: total commitment. Your mission in Siena starts at Piazzetta della Selva. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. Along the way, Siena shows you some of its history and the places where locals gather. The sights are nice. The real entertainment is your team: the debates on street corners, the plans that almost work, and the one person who takes it far too seriously. The missions are only half the game. The other half is watching each other, because at the final stop your team votes on who might be a double agent. There may not be one at all. By day or after dark, this route works: about 2.5 hours, 4 stops and 1.3 km on foot, with evening games possible. You leave with your cover blown, your cheeks sore from laughing, and photographic evidence of both. Who it's for: - Friends, couples and families with teens: finally, a day out with more to talk about than where to eat. - Solo travelers: book just for you and play Solo Mode, the version of the game made for one player. Nobody can outvote you. - Private groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, girls' weekends, boys' trips, wedding parties, work teams and active over-55s. Pick the day; we will handle the intrigue. Book a private game for 1 to 8 players on a date you choose; a team of one works too. Teams are up to 8 players. A bigger booking plays as several teams of up to 8, formed at the meeting point. What to expect Turn up at Piazzetta della Selva by your departure time. Meet at the corner of Via Franciosa and Vicolo di San Girolamo, at the edge of Piazzetta della Selva. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 1.3 km on foot, finishing at the last stop about 2.5 hours later. Only the meeting point is shared in advance; the rest is revealed as you play. - At Piazzetta della Selva, open your quest link and tap I'M HERE (it unlocks 15 minutes before the start). You play short solo warm-up missions there while everyone arrives, and teams form 30 minutes after the start time. A private group can start together as soon as everyone has checked in - Running late? Come anyway. Teams form 30 minutes after the start time. If you get there later, tap I'M HERE when you arrive and the app adds you to a team that still has room (your own group's, if you booked together), or to the solo game if every team is full - Bring a charged phone for each player, with mobile data; a power bank helps - About 1.3 km of walking; wear comfortable shoes - Outdoors in typical weather; if conditions turn unsafe, we reschedule you or refund you - The challenges suit teens and adults; younger players are welcome with grown-ups on the team - Part of the walk includes steps.
