AREAS & SURROUNDINGS
The medieval city of Bellinzona, a life-size setting for your riddles
The escape game takes place in Bellinzona's medieval labyrinth. Your teams will explore:
Our life-size escape game takes over the alleys and courtyards of the old town, in the shadow of the three fortresses: historical intrigue, locks, and a race against time.
Inside and around the main fortress, an escape room challenges logic and teamwork: coded messages hidden in the ramparts and team challenges.
The evening opens with an Italian-style aperitif on a downtown terrace: Spritz, Ticino wines, and regional platters under illuminated arcades.
The highlight: dinner in a typical grotto. Risotto, polenta, and Italian desserts accompany a warm atmosphere that lasts late into the night.
A stone's throw from the cathedral: old town cafés and terraces for debriefing, rooms for an indoor version. Something to combine the escape game with a meal or a seminar, in Bellinzona and its surroundings.
