Lake Maggiore Exit Game – The Treasure of the Mazzarditi (3 hours with aperitivo)
Top-rated 3 hours up to 8 guests at a fixed price, up to 12 guests on request
The Lake Maggiore Exit Game combines puzzles with sightseeing: searching for the Mazzarditi treasure, you solve challenges on board while islands and castle ruins drift by.
Perfect for families, friends and teams – including an aperitivo break and keepsakes to take home. An adventure that only exists on the water.
About this tour
The relaxed long version of our escape game: about two hours of puzzling, embedded in a three-hour tour with sightseeing and an aperitivo break on board the STRIGA CONSTANZE. Beppe, the 600-year-old parrot of the Mazzarditi pirate brothers, guides you through eight runes to the treasure chest. The Exit Game is not a standalone tour – the riddle is part of your private boat tour. Between stations, the crew shares authentic stories about Santa Caterina del Sasso, the Borromean Islands, and the pirate castles off Cannero. You stay comfortably seated while rune boards, logbooks, binoculars, signal flags, ropes, and costumes are brought to you.

What our delighted guests say
Find out why our guests call our boat tour the highlight of their holiday.
«A wonderful boat tour on a unique sailing boat on Lake Maggiore. We got to know the lake from completely different perspectives. It's also worth highlighting that the tour could be rescheduled at short notice due to a spell of bad weather, and we were ultimately able to enjoy the trip in the best weather. The crew was thoroughly likeable and made a great effort. We can only recommend the trip to everyone.»
