The 5 Best Florence Escape Games Tours

1.Florence Self-Guided Treasure Hunt & Medici Mystery Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $17Our pick

Start at Via della Scala and follow a Medici-inspired mystery through Florence using your phone and WhatsApp support. Solve family-friendly puzzles in English or Italian, pause when you like, discover lesser-seen corners, and finish with a sweet treat. Plan on about two hours.

“This experience was a lot of fun!! We went to places that we never would have on our own. The “story” was charming and clever. We learned a bit about history. The less than perfect part was that it was a bit too long and there was no way to end without abandoning it. Just as it seems to be ending there’s another clue and then another. If you want closure there is none but to push through. If you’re tired, that’s hard. But I loved the first 3/4s of it!”

4.Florence Inferno: Dante’s Haunted Exploration Game and Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 33 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $7

Follow a mobile game from Piazza della SS. Annunziata to Via del Proconsolo, solving 10 Dante-themed puzzles along the way. You set the pace, pause when needed, and explore Florence without a physical guide. English is offered, and the route takes about one to two hours.

“Une histoire racontée en Français aurait été plus agréable. Attention, quelques travaux empêchent de trouver les solutions (notamment la première énigme). Les explications pour se diriger sont assez vague. Nous avons dû utiliser Google Map pour trouver le chemin a plusieurs reprise. Au final, on a eu du mal à s'impliquer dans le jeu. Nous ne l'avons pas fini. Le jeu peut être amélioré.”
