Description

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played through the crumbling ruins of Pompeii. You will explore 14 different locations while following the story of a doomed poetess trapped in a time loop tied to the volcanic eruption. At each location, you'll solve a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on monuments, graffiti, and facades. The route winds through Centro Storico, blending ancient history with whispered tales of the eruption's aftermath. Perfect for history fans, mystery lovers and urban explorers.

Starting from the Santuario di Apollo, the stops are spaced an average of around 150m apart, with each location taking around 9 min to complete. The route also passes through FOUNTAIN OF SILENUS, CENTAURUS STATUE and STEPPING STONES. At each location, you'll solve a challenge and receive instructions for the next chapter.

ENTRY FEE IS NOT INCLUDED. You will explore by yourself using the Questo app on your phone. No physical guide or stranger groups will be involved. The full route covers approximately 2.4 km (1.5 mi) and takes around 2:00h to complete. You can play it any day, at any time. Languages available: EN.
