Ashes of Time: Escape Pompeii’s Curse

Your name is Octavia, and your story ended nearly 2000 years ago. Or so you thought. 

Now, you drift through the ruins of Pompeii, unseen by tourists, surrounded only by echoes of those who once lived here. As the sun rises higher, a chilling realization returns—you are about to relive your final day once more.

Trapped in a time loop, you must piece together what happened, solve real-world puzzles, and follow fading clues through ancient streets before the eruption begins again. Will this be the time you finally escape?

This immersive walking adventure blends mystery, emotion, and exploration through one of history’s most haunting sites. Play with friends or family, and create memories as you uncover the forgotten heartbeat of a city lost in time.

Scénario

Your name is Octavia, and you lived almost 2000 years ago. 

These days, you just float through the dead city, unable to see the tourists, but only shadows of those who lived long ago. Soon, you’ll start reliving the last day of your life. Stuck in a loop, you go through your last hours again and again. 

But you always forget afterwards and then live those tragic moments as if for the first time. It’s almost midday, the eruption will begin and you’ll have to escape the melting Pompeii once more!

Questions fréquemment posées

I want to feel the drama of Pompeii’s past—how can I do that?

Step into the story with Ashes of Time. You’ll follow interactive clues through temples, baths, and frescoed houses as if you were there the day Vesuvius erupted. It’s history mixed with suspense, not just a walk among ruins.

Could this be a unique date experience?

Yes. Exploring an ancient city at twilight while solving puzzles together is unexpectedly romantic. You and your partner become a team racing to “escape” before the volcano’s final blast, sharing quiet moments in spectacular surroundings.

How long should we plan for the game?

Most players spend about 90 minutes to two hours tracing the 2–3 km route. You can take extra time for photos or to soak in the Forum, theatres, and streets that feel frozen in time.

Will kids enjoy it, or is it too intense?

Older kids and teens love the mix of adventure and archaeology. The storyline is thrilling without being frightening, and the app lets you pause for breaks, making it easy to adjust the pace for younger explorers.

I don’t know Italian—can I still follow along?

Absolutely. The entire quest is available in English. Clues are clear and designed for visitors who may be discovering Pompeii for the first time.
