HOW CAN I PLAY WITH SOFA MODE?
The gameflow is the same. The game works just as described above, except that the enigmas you’ll have to solve are strictly related to the people, historical events, art and culture of the places in which the stories in this guide are set. To solve the enigmas in this version, you don’t need to be on location. You just need your own cultural knowledge. If you want to play in sofa mode, simply type your name and then the word ‘sofa’.
CAN I CHOOSE HOW LOG TO PLAY IF I’M PLAYING IN SOFA MODE?
Yes, all of the options are the same as in the standard version. When you start the game, you can type in the number of hours you intend to play for. Keep in mind, though, that it takes less time to solve each question, because you won’t have to go to the physical place to find the answer.
IS SOFA MODE AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF THE CITIES?
Currently, the only edition you can play from home is Milan. However, our goal is to make this version available for all of the other WHAIWHAI cities, too. We’ll keep you posted.
The Ruyi activity is an amazing trip through one of the most mysterious cities in the world. I was taken to corners of Venice and shown sights that I never would have encountered on my own self-guided walks through the city.

...the Ruyi always evades discovery. But the real treasure is in experiencing a fun new twist on sightseeing in the Eternal City.
