Anime perdute
La fuga dalle tenebre

Immersed in the darkness of the tunnels of the Orte aqueduct, you tackled an escape room inspired by Dante’s Inferno.

Every corner evoked the circles of the underworld, with puzzles that put you to the test just as they did for Dante’s damned. The thrill of the unknown and the shadows of past sins accompanied you on this journey through torment and redemption!​

We would like to thank the following for their cooperation: Veramente Orte, Caffè Colonna, Ente Ottava Medievale di Orte, Contrada San Gregorio, Contrada Sant'Angelo e Contrada San Sebastiano.
