The story
Your great-aunt Clotilde leaves you a manor you never knew existed, along with a strange message: two mysterious coordinates. Reach the castle, get through the maze with Caesar's cipher, decode the four mirrors, open the prime-number chests and find the code hidden in the dark. An adventure of classic puzzles — maps, ciphers, numbers and musical notes — all the way to the forgotten treasure.

«Definitely an experience to repeat, intriguing puzzles that got everyone taking part involved.»
«Reeeally interesting. I'm an escape room fan and I have to say it really was a great adventure. Seriously well done. Made very very well! Brilliant job!»
«An escape room out of the ordinary, really gripping and with puzzles that are anything but obvious, a great way to spend some time with company. Well done to whoever created this kind of escape.»
«My wife and I had a great time, a really well-made and well-structured game, interesting puzzles that you don't solve straight away. Well done!!!!»
«Needs reworking. Some puzzles are very hard to interpret: it would be more useful and nicer to add clues, and the video with the full solution is absolutely to be avoided.»

«Everything very stimulating except for the lack of clues and useful pointers to make you realize that the computer alone isn't enough to solve the last puzzle. Definitely needs reworking»
«it was engaging up to about halfway, then it gets "absurd". The final part is impossible to do with just a pc.»
«nice but sometimes you can't work out the point of it. It would be useful to have some clues and not just the video with the full solution.»
«you need several points of view to solve the puzzles, fun!»
«engaging game, shame though that there aren't enough clues to solve the puzzles and you're forced to fall back on the hints. needs improving.»
«Complex and gripping puzzles, unfortunately at the end we couldn't manage to carry out the action required.»
«Great experience, not at all easy, you have to think laterally, intriguing. We recommend it.»
«all lovely, shame about the ending because you physically can't carry out the actions required. what a pity!»
«Great experience, fun puzzles and never obvious (in fact, every now and then we even needed a hint!). Recommended :) The ending a bit convoluted»
«we played Enigma del Castello. We had fun, the riddles were enjoyable, but the ending was too convoluted, you should keep everything inside your own page.»
«A much more interesting escape room than the one I tried before. Engaging. Having done lots of other online escape rooms, the graphics aren't bad and are above average, of course there's always room to improve. This time I can say I'm satisfied. Thanks»
«Nice but the puzzles don't fit the setting much and are a bit complex just for the sake of being twisted. Still, 3 hours spent fairly enjoyably.»
«Nice fun experience, the only flaw was the last puzzle which, for us at least, didn't work and we had to fall back on the hint.. shame...»
«We wanted to try the experience of an Online Escape Room, and well, this product delivers a solid stress-free alternative, great to share with friends. The puzzles are interesting and take quite a while to solve, some of them even require the help of tools like google maps; As point-and-click fans, though, we expected it to last longer overall, and the Helping system works very well but gives few hints: it often sends you straight to a solution video, when maybe all it took was spending a bit more time creating small clues, so as to suggest a more natural line of reasoning. Before buying the product we wanted to try the free prequel to get an idea, so we suggest you do the same, also because completing that chapter earns you a further discount on the final product, bringing down a price that's on the high side. Overall we recommend it!»
«Great experience, shame about a few questions that were too complicated»
«A virtual escape room, it's definitely a different experience from a real escape, but no worse for that. Good, engaging puzzles, pretty tough and never obvious.»
«It was a lovely afternoon, after 40 minutes we solved the 1st question (and then we gave up). Well done to the developers.»
«Nice idea, but the puzzles were very hard to understand.. we often had to fall back on the hints...»
«Even though we're far apart, we felt close thanks to your initiative! We're in different countries and this game tore down the borders! Very nice, but a bit "difficult"! Thanks so much!»
«very fun and original»
«It was tough! Great job, a challenging and engaging adventure, with original, well-developed puzzles. Some puzzles could be structured better, the interface is a bit stiff at times. A few more external links (google maps / street view) could make the experience even more dynamic.»
«Well-thought-out and interesting puzzles, though there could be a few more of them.»
«Great puzzles and a great pastime for the family .... great imagination»
«good and original, really tough puzzles, I'd rework the various rooms with images, sounds and/or video to make the experience more immersive, we can't wait to try la maledizione del faraone!»
«it was good to play, we're waiting for the second story. a pleasant way to spend some time with company Team D.O.G»
«A new way to spend some pleasant time with company. The scenario is maybe a bit short but with really nice and innovative puzzles. We had fun and, why not, we're curious to try the future ones. Well done!»
«We spent 2 pleasant hours with stimulating puzzles. We can't wait to try the next experience!!! Well done Alberto for putting together this escape that suits everyone.»
«Fun afternoon with a couple of friends. Well-made game, hard to solve but at every step you can fall back on the hints to keep going. shame there aren't any animated scenes, but I highly recommend it anyway.»
«Very well made! Shame it isn't animated with drawings but only text! On every puzzle we had to ask for a little hint, but the chat/Help is very well done! Without hints it would have been impossible to solve! Great job!!!»
«Really good, fun and anything but obvious...I was a bit hesitant at first, but as we played we realized it's absolutely not a silly little thing. At some points, when we couldn't get any further, we used the hints (icon at the bottom right that says "HELP"). I'm eagerly awaiting "La Maledizione del Faraone"? On top of that the price is absolutely fair and affordable for anyone who wants to spend an afternoon with company.»
«Really nice, tough just the right amount...an unusual New Year's Eve! We're looking forward to more adventures, longer ones too but with the same level of difficulty!»
«Very fun and stimulating... maybe a bit too twisted in a couple of puzzles, but all in all we had a great evening»
«Super fun!!! for spending half an hour differently»
«Really good! we had loads of fun!!! We're waiting for new adventures...a bit longer ones too!!! byee»
«Not obvious and engaging»
«REALLY GOOD, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE»
«Lots of thinking but lots of fun! We're waiting for the next room to come out! YOU'RE GREAT!! Huge congrats, thanks so much and best wishes to everyone!!!»
«Highly recommended for fans of escape rooms and puzzles in general! I played the "Enigma del castello" room together with my family. Very fun and well-made puzzles. There's also the option of using a few hints in case you get stuck, at some points we needed them. I'm waiting for the next rooms!!!»
«Team ARGONAUTI: almost like being locked in a castle dungeon, but thanks to the team working together and a few tips we managed to escape! Very well structured and just the right difficulty.»
«Fun games for a different kind of afternoon! A great way to be together! ;) Dario, Davide, Jessica, Monica, Lorena, Alberto the comehomers»
«Newbies group: brilliant game! very well structured and fun. The puzzles are varied and not always obvious! We want to play again right now!!!!!»
«Wonderful initiative, definitely an experience to repeat! Well done on the way the game is organized and on the friendliness! See you next time! Cedric and Paola»
«I'd never taken part in an Escape Room but this experience was remarkable. Flawless organization, the rooms structured precisely and seasoned with great expertise. Loads of fun with company, even if virtual, would do it again! We recommend it both to anyone who's never tried it and to anyone who knows the genre. Well done! Edoardo and Susanna»
«It was a gaming experience I'd never had before, but very interesting and enjoyable. The puzzles were really good and tested you in different ways. Well done to the organizers, I can't wait to play the next escapes!!!»
«Brilliant experience, engaging and stimulating!! I spent an alternative afternoon with my lifelong friends... we had so much fun!! Precise and flawless organization!!! Seriously well done!!! Super recommended!!»
«In a time like this, having the chance to play with my friends in an interactive way was nothing short of wonderful! well done to the organizers for coming up with such a great idea. I can't wait to play again!»
«Brilliant initiative, definitely to do again!! Well done to the creator for the excellent organization!»
«Brilliant experience, with puzzles that make the team work together; between what you know, logic and searching the web, you manage to get to the end of the game, which lasts about 1 hour (obviously it depends on how brilliant the players are). Thanks to the organizers, who also allowed for the option of asking for hints (which come with penalties for the overall leaderboard). A really fun alternative afternoon, hoping to see new developments in the future. Highly recommended!»
«Magnificent experience! My partner and I had a great time!»
«Enjoyable experience, with really challenging puzzles! well done!»
«It was a most enjoyable experience . A way of playing that gets your neurons firing again. Thanks to the organizers»
«Having the teams take part over video chat was very enjoyable. Medium difficulty puzzles, solvable by working fully together. Awkward on a smartphone, but nice on a pc, with a few small difficulties reading the puzzles on a shared screen. A most enjoyable experience!»
«Really nice initiative, fun and well thought out! Organization, puzzles and friendliness TOP! We're eagerly awaiting the next event ;)»
«Hi Alberto, yesterday was my first ever experience in an escape room, and a virtual one at that!!! The organization was really spot on, everything worked out for the best. Getting together in such numbers, even among people who don't know each other, to spend a fun afternoon together was truly wonderful...and...the puzzles were nice and tough ;) ....when's the next one??? :) Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving your time and your skills to organizing all this. Well done, Anna»
«It was a lovely afternoon, excellent organization and the game itself and the difficulty of the puzzles were in line with expectations too! Well done!!»
