Overview

This is an escape game through the heart of Lugano. A dozen clues placed in the streets and shops of the old town, that only the smartest will find. Hunt for clues, crack codes and solve puzzles - just like in a great escape room. You’ll find hidden symbols in a record store or a cryptic message in a pizzeria. Every object is a piece of a bigger puzzle. The challenges become increasingly more difficult. This is no game for kids: we recommend active participation from the age of 13. You’ll need to unleash all your brainpower to unravel the mystery. Only together with your team of brainiacs, you’ll master this game. The game unfolds in the city centre, starting at Piazza della Riforma and going towards the Lido. You'll not only pass by Lugano's iconic landmarks but also uncover some hidden gems that only few visitors come across. Don't settle for a usual tourist outing – try this escape game!

Meeting points

You will get the ticket by SMS: make sure that your phone number is valid to promptly receive your tickets. If you haven't received the SMS within 10min, please get in touch. The Sato Code App will guide you to the starting point in Lugano.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

• An immersive game across Lugano: This is an escape room across the city, distinctly different from a walking tour or city exploration scavenger hunt. While the game centers around puzzle-solving rather than delving into the city's history, it perfectly complements your sightseeing adventure • Designed for adults: Due to its difficulty, we recommend active participation from age 16. But if you're traveling with your family and enjoy the challenge of escape rooms, you can definitely share the experience with your kids • It's a team game: You need at least two players, each with a phone. The Sato Code App gives different info to each of you. As a team, you’ll put the pieces together to make it through the game. So, make sure everyone has downloaded the Sato Code App • Itinerary: From Piazza della Riforma, you'll cross Quartiere Maghetti, walk alongside Parco Ciani and Foce, heading towards the Lido di Lugano. The unique storyline "The Duke of Marengo", crafted with passion by our Game Designers, perfectly captures the essence of Lugano. Take in the city from a fresh perspective, add an extra layer of enjoyment to your visit, and have a blast if you're a fan of escape games!

Fantastic Game

Published on Feb, 2023

Sato Code is a definitely for me: that of spending time outdoors and around the city looking for clues and finding solutions. After Como I faced Lugano and we have no no intention of stopping! Experience recommended for everyone: groups of friends, families and more generally to anyone who wants to get involved! I'm sure you will be thrilled :)
