How to play

How to play

Four steps. The city tells, you solve.

  1. 1
    You pick the mission on your smartphone, at an outdoor table.

    Pick your map

    One city, usually 2.5–3 hours on foot. One purchase covers the whole crew.

  2. 2
    The digital compass guides you through the city streets.

    Follow the compass

    On your phone, it leads you to the next stop without giving away its name.

  3. 3
    Someone reads a clue on their smartphone.

    Discover the story of the place

    At every stop you read the tale of the place and three curiosities. Then a quiz, a riddle, an anagram or a logic puzzle.

  4. 4
    The completed adventure is celebrated while looking at the smartphone.

    Reach the treasure

    Complete the stops, reach the final treasure and compare points on the leaderboard.

Who it's for

For every kind of crew.

Whether you're solo, as a couple or in a group, Piracity turns the city into an adventure.

Solo
Solo
For everyone

You don't have to be a kid to set off on an adventure.

Piracity is made for anyone who wants to play, explore and see the city from a different perspective. You can live it solo, with the ones you love, with friends or with a group.

  • Stories to play

    Every stop has something to tell.

    At the Busento Bridge in Cosenza, legend has it that Alaric lies buried with his gold beneath the river. At the Trevi Fountain in Rome, a snail and a lizard are carved among the rocks: can you find them? Read, look around, solve the riddle: the stop is yours.

  • The technology

    Technology guides you. The adventure stays real.

    Your smartphone shows the compass, the scrolls and the digital clues. You observe the city, choose your route, solve the mission and live the experience in the real world.

  • Simple to play

    Designed to play together, simply.

    Piracity is designed to be easy to follow, suited to anyone who wants to play and centred on the shared experience.

  • The reward

    In the end, there's always a treasure.

    Every mission leads to a discovery: a score, a reward, a ranking or simply the memory of an adventure lived together.

Birthdays and events

Any ordinary outing can become an event.

Piracity is great for birthdays, dates, afternoons with friends, tourist experiences, small groups and informal team building.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions.

  • A walking treasure hunt through the city that doubles as a guide. The compass on your phone leads you from one place to the next; at every stop you read the story of the place and three curiosities (little-known details and, where there are any, traditions and legends), then take on a challenge (quiz, riddle, anagram or logic puzzle) to score points. One phone is enough for the whole group. It's not an audio guide: you read and play together.

  • No, you can play straight from the browser: Piracity is a web app (PWA) you add to your home screen in two taps.

  • €11.99 per group. One purchase unlocks the map on one phone and the whole group plays together, as many of you as you like. You get access by email right away and the map stays valid for 1 year.

  • About 2.5–3 hours on foot, at an easy pace, including stops to solve the puzzles. Each map's page shows its stages, distance and estimated time.

  • Recommended from age 8; younger children play as a team with their parents.

  • Yes. You can play solo too, choosing a suitable mission and experiencing the city as a personal exploration.

  • Maps are available today in 45 cities, with more on the way. You'll find them all on the Cities page.

  • One smartphone for the whole group, comfortable shoes and a taste for exploring.
