6 tours · Games IRL

You've climbed it in the game. Now walk it.

Assassin's Creed rebuilt real cities in loving detail, and millions of players know Florence's Duomo, Venice's canals and Notre-Dame from the rooftops. These walks take you to the same places at street level and follow the game's story through them, in the game's order.

There are walks for Assassin's Creed II in Florence and Venice, Brotherhood in Rome, Unity in Paris, Syndicate in London and Shadows in Kyoto. At each stop you hear the game scene first, then the real place: what the game got right, what it invented, and the history it borrowed.

You don't need to be a player to enjoy them. The real stories behind these games, the Medici and the Pazzi conspiracy, the French Revolution, Victorian London and the fall of Oda Nobunaga, are as good as anything a writer invented.

Good to know before you go

Unofficial fan walks
These tours are not made with or endorsed by Ubisoft. You hear the stories of the places, not the game: no game audio, footage or artwork.
Game first, then history
Each stop opens with the scene from the game and then tells you what really happened there, so you always know which is which.
Expect spoilers
The walks follow each game's story, so they give away the plot.
Bring comfortable shoes
Game walks run from about 3 to 6 kilometres through busy old centres, so wear good shoes and carry water in summer.

Handcrafted for Your Time in the City

These tours aren't a checklist of sights. They're made to be walked slowly, headphones on, eyes on the city.

Meditative and Immersive

Each story is told where it happened. The app chimes when you reach a stop, one tap starts the story, and the stretch between stops is yours to take in at your own pace.

Handcrafted With Care

We choose every route and every stop ourselves and shape each story with care, so the time you have in the city goes to the places most worth seeing.

Better With Someone

Every walk is better with someone beside you, so if you can bring a friend, we really hope you do. That's why one purchase covers everyone you invite: they join your tour free.
