The Perugia scavenger hunt starts at the Etruscan Arch and leads past the Teatro Morlacchi and the Church of San Filippo Neri to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. On Piazza IV Novembre you meet the Fontana Maggiore and Palazzo dei Priori, home of the National Gallery of Umbria, then follow Corso Vannucci and Via della Viola and finish on Piazza della Repubblica.
The 10 stops cover about 2.3 km, roughly 33 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Perugia, the capital of Umbria, sits on a hilltop where Etruscan walls, medieval palaces and steep lanes are all within a short walk. The Etruscan Arch is one of the ancient city gates, the 13th-century Fontana Maggiore was carved by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, and Corso Vannucci is named after the painter Perugino. The city is also famous for its chocolate.
A game makes you look closely at reliefs, coats of arms and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no schedule and time for chocolate whenever you like.
