The Milan scavenger hunt starts at Sforzesco Castle and finishes on Piazza della Scala, in front of the Teatro alla Scala. On the way you visit Santa Maria delle Grazie, home of Leonardo’s Last Supper, the Castello Cova, the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, the Temple of Victory war memorial, the church of San Maurizio, Piazza dei Mercanti, the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
The 10 stops cover about 4.3 km, roughly 53 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Milan hides centuries of history between its shop windows. The Gothic Duomo took nearly six centuries to complete, the Sforza dukes ruled from their 15th-century castle, Leonardo painted the Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie, and the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, built in the 19th century, links the cathedral square with La Scala.
A game makes you look closely at spires, mosaics and courtyards you would otherwise hurry past, and the stories that follow explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for an espresso or an aperitivo whenever you like.
