Two Ways to Experience the Adventure

How treasure hunts in Venice work: guided or self-guided

Venice isn’t a city to simply visit, it’s a labyrinth to decode. You can do it with the total freedom of a self-guided treasure hunt, or by relying on the magic of a live guide who brings the story to life in real time.

Venice in Your Hands: Self-Guided Treasure Hunt

Created to offer total freedom to families, couples, and small groups, self-guided treasure hunts in Venice allow you to discover the soul of the Serenissima by becoming the true protagonists of the story.

1.

Pick Up Your Kit

Envelopes, letters, maps: receive your printed materials at the designated starting point of your adventure.

2.

Explore the City

The city becomes your playground. Follow the clues by observing hidden details and symbols carved in stone.

3.

Solve the Riddles

Crack codes, logical connections, and narrative clues that unfold step by step at your own pace.

How a Guided Treasure Hunt works

A dedicated private guide transforms the city into a living stage. With a guide by your side, the story comes alive, the game is expertly managed, and hidden secrets are revealed, things you would never find in any guidebook. Parents can relax and enjoy Venice while children explore; groups experience high-energy, adrenaline-filled competition. Discover the two ways to take part in a guided treasure hunt in Venice.

Single Team

The joy of staying together

One single team works together to decipher clues and solve the mystery. In this format, the game tour includes the constant presence of our expert local guide, who acts as the game director.

Recommended for groups of fewer than 10 people; this is the best option for small groups of friends or families who want a continuous and immersive storytelling experience. It’s also ideal for bachelor and bachelorette parties where the group prefers to stay together with the bride or groom-to-be.

Why choose it?
To enjoy everyone’s company without splitting up and be guided through the story of the city.

Team Challenge

Adrenaline and competition

You’ll be divided into teams (we recommend 4 to 7 people per team). Our guide will meet you at the beginning to hand out the materials and again at the end to declare the winning team. At each stage, teams compete to solve the riddles.

Routes and challenges differ for each team but are carefully designed to ensure a fair and dynamic competition. During the game, the guide supports you remotely via WhatsApp.

Why choose it?

To challenge yourselves, race against time, and experience the thrill of victory.

Treasure Hunt in Venice for Team Building

Every company is unique and its experience should be too. Venice is the perfect setting to put team spirit to the test. We design tailor-made treasure hunts for your group, based on your interests and business needs. Here’s how a team building treasure hunt works.

Engaging Storylines

For your corporate team building, you can start with a classic treasure hunt or choose a “premium” version that includes an investigation in an Urban Escape Game style. You can also integrate elements, questions, and activities related to your company and its products.

Customized Experience

Enhance and personalize your team building to create a treasure hunt that truly reflects your vision: artisan experiences, theatrical storytelling, exclusive locations, and creative challenges.

The Award Ceremony

From an aperitif to personalized gadgets, the final moment is key to strengthening team spirit.

For Groups from 10 to 200 People

Our treasure hunts are adapted to the number of participants. We have solid experience working with both small businesses and large international companies. We’ve developed a system that ensures both an excellent participant experience and respect for the city: staggered starts, multiple routes, and integration with boats and hotels. Managing large groups in Venice requires specific expertise.

The VivoVenetia Method

To create the event you’re looking for, we work together through a four-step process, from the initial request to the final award ceremony. No surprises, maximum professionalism.
We don’t sell “off-the-shelf packages”, we build solutions.

Why Choose a Treasure Hunt in Venice?

If you think this game is just for kids, think again! It’s full of energy and perfect for groups of friends, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and team building. You never stop playing! And there’s no way to cheat, first of all because Google Maps doesn’t work very well in Venice…

Sharpen your mind and rely only on your teammates! One last tip

Between squares and bridges, you’ll learn to wander through Venice’s most beautiful corners, searching for hidden works of art and decoding ancient alchemical secrets, all to reach the final treasure!

Oh, and of course… don’t forget a good pair of shoes.

 

Off the Beaten Path

Treasure hunts in Venice take place on foot through the calli (narrow streets), discovering ancient legends, statues, palaces, and other iconic locations. Far from the usual tourist routes, you’ll explore the city’s most beautiful and lesser-known sides.

Duration

On average, all our treasure hunts last about two hours. For self-guided experiences, this is only an indication, you set your own pace.

Do You Need a Phone?

Our treasure hunts are 100% analog. If you’re a die-hard digital fan, this might not be for you. If you choose a guided team challenge, you’ll only need one smartphone per team with an active connection to stay in touch with the guide.
