Mystery

A whirlwind adventure in the territory of the Renaissance genius.

Nina, Lori, and Jamal find themselves in Urbino during the Renaissance, just as Leonardo has decided to offer his genius to Valentino, the feared Cesare Borgia. However, the great inventor realizes he has made a grave mistake: Cesare Borgia’s lust for power is dangerous, and he could unleash a new war across Italy. The three friends must help the Tuscan genius destroy a dangerous invention he’s hidden in a safe place. The only clue to find this secret location is hidden inside Leonardo’s Virgin of the Rocks painting. The kids will face a great temporal paradox to destroy the invention and prevent Cesare Borgia and Machiavelli from gaining control of Leonardo’s most dangerous creation: the tank.

  • The three protagonists will travel back in time to meet the greatest painters and sculptors of all time, and will have to solve dark mysteries before they can return home.
  • Intrigue, hidden dangers and plot twists and, of course, a little bit of humour.
