Overview

Step through a portal to 1566 and explore Dubrovnik as the Republic of Ragusa — a powerful city-state at its peak. In this self-guided smartphone adventure, you'll meet the legendary playwright Marin Držić, decode secret messages, and uncover a conspiracy that could topple the government.

Using the free Questo app, you'll navigate 14 chapters across Dubrovnik's Old Town at your own pace. Solve puzzles at the Rector's Palace, Sponza Palace, and the city walls while learning how Ragusa rivaled Venice in trade and diplomacy. The route also passes iconic Game of Thrones filming locations — from King's Landing's streets to the Walk of Shame staircase.

Start anytime. No reservation time slot, no guide to wait for. Just open the app and begin your time-travel mission through one of Europe's most stunning walled cities. The quest takes approximately 2 hours 56 minutes and covers 1.7 km entirely within the Old Town.
