Statuto Square was once home to a Roman necropolis, a French execution site, and was the scene of a terrible fire in 1983. The fountain in the middle of the square was constructed in the memory of the workers who died digging the Frejus Rail Tunnel. Due to its fatal legacy, the square has been given the title “Black Heart,” as Turin’s most obscure area.

We couldn't find the start of the circuit, although we've reached the point indicated. We had to give up, very disappointed. Waste of time and money (for 5 people). A refund would be welcome.
Bad experience. Difficult to install and activate, bad service. We paid for 17 but we just had to buy two because we were two groups. Players cannot interact with each other and it is a trivial chain of questions in front of some monuments, however outside the Roman quadrangle... and with long insignificant routes.... in short, a theft for a product that does not work and that did not give what it promised... more than 80 euros wasted.
