THE MISSION
A FAMILY ADVENTURE IN THE HEART OF VENICE
Venice is a miracle of stone floating on water but it is also fragile. To protect it, new Guardians are needed. This is not a history lesson, but an exploration challenge through the canals of Cannaregio.
A city that lives thanks to water, yet must also be protected from it. This treasure hunt is born from that idea: discovering Venice while having fun, learning to respect it and take care of it together.
The Guardians of the Venetian Lagoon is not just a treasure hunt, but an exploration game designed for families. Through clues, observation, and small missions, both adults and children become the protagonists of an adventure that speaks about water, environment, history, and the future.
Venice never sleeps, it waits. It waits for its next Guardians.
THE EXPERIENCE
WHAT MAKES THIS TREASURE HUNT UNIQUE
It’s not a tour. It’s not a lesson. It’s the most enjoyable activity you can share with your children in Venice. No apps, no backlit screens—just paper, curiosity, and a lagoon with so much to tell those who know how to listen.
