The experience

About this quest

Rome, 2021. You are Giulia, a young archaeologist and descendant of Valeria Messalina, empress, temptress, and the city's most whispered-about ghost. Her scandalous footsteps still echo through Suburra's shadowed alleys, and they are waiting for you to follow them.

Gather friends or family and set out: every clue carved in marble, every riddle tucked beside a tavern arch, urges your team to walk farther, think sharper, and discover together. From the Roman Forum to the Colosseum you will piece together the hidden life and violent end of the prostitute empress while Rome reveals the corners guidebooks forget.

This is no idle screen game. It is a walk through living history that turns the Eternal City into your puzzle board, forging memories with each solved cipher and shared discovery. The stones demand answers. Begin the investigation.
