The route: from the Arch of Augustus to Madonna della Scala

The Rimini scavenger hunt starts at the Arch of Augustus and leads to the Tempio Malatestiano and Piazza Tre Martiri, the old Roman forum. From Castel Sismondo and the Teatro Galli you continue to the Domus del Chirurgo and the City Museum, cross the Bridge of Tiberius and explore the murals of Borgo San Giuliano before finishing at Madonna della Scala.

The 10 stops cover about 2.8 km, roughly 34 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.

Why explore Rimini with a city game

Most people come to Rimini for the beach, but its old town is a compact walk through Roman and Renaissance history. The Arch of Augustus dates from 27 BC and the Bridge of Tiberius, finished under Emperor Tiberius, still carries traffic. The Malatesta lords left their castle and the Tempio Malatestiano by Leon Battista Alberti, and Federico Fellini, born here, is honoured in the murals of Borgo San Giuliano.

A game makes you look closely at carvings, signs and façades you would otherwise pass by, 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 a coffee or a snack whenever you like.

  • In summer start in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat; off-season the old town is calm all day.
  • Start the escape game in daylight; its puzzles rely on details on the façades.
  • Pack a power bank and wear comfortable shoes; the game runs on your phone.
  • Finish in Borgo San Giuliano for a piadina or dinner at a trattoria, or visit the Domus del Chirurgo inside afterwards.
