Häufig gestellte Fragen
What’s this quest all about?
You’re hunting for the Lost Centurion, a Roman soldier who vanished from Colchester nearly 2,000 years ago. You follow clues through the old walls, ruins, hidden paths, trying to unearth what happened.
Is this good if I like history and myths?
Totally. It mixes real Roman history with a bit of legend—ancient walls, Roman bricks, old gates—plus mystery around what the Centurion really did.
Could this be a fun afternoon with a friend or partner?
Yes — it’s perfect if you like walking at an easy pace, chatting about history, solving riddles together. Stops at ruins and hidden spots make it feel special.
Will kids enjoy this?
Older kids (teens especially) who like stories of ancient Rome or mystery hunts will love it. Younger ones might find some clues tricky, but the ruins are cool visuals.
Is it steep or hard walking terrain?
Mostly flat, some old paving and stone steps. Nothing super hard, but good shoes help, especially if rain’s made the stones slippery.
