About this tour

  • the riddles of the old city
  • the search for an archaeologist's lost maps

Naples is a city of legends, secrets and ancient stories. In 1890 a famous archaeologist studying ancient civilisations vanished without warning. All he left behind were strange notes, maps and cryptic symbols. The team must work out what exactly he was looking for and why his research broke off. The route runs through historic Naples, and every point on it hides another clue.

The quest begins at the legendary Caffè Gambrinus. From there the team follows the route and gathers evidence:

  • finding hidden symbols
