Overview

This is an escape game through the heart of Locarno. 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 in Piazza Grande and going towards the Visconteo Castle. You'll not only pass by Locarno'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!

    What To Expect

    • An immersive game across Locarno:
    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:
    You'll walk across the alleys of the old town, heading towards the Visconteo Castle. The unique storyline "The Sasso Society", crafted with passion by our Game Designers, perfectly captures the essence of Locarno.

    • See the city as never before:
    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!
