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, begging you to trace them. 

Gather friends or family and lace up: every clue carved in marble, every riddle tucked beside a tavern arch, urges your team to stride farther, think sharper, laugh louder. From forum to secret courtyard you’ll piece together the hidden life and violent end of the prostitute empress while Rome unveils corners guidebooks forget. 

This is no idle screen game; it’s a pulse-lifting walk that turns the Eternal City into your puzzle board, forging memories with each solved cipher and shared discovery. The stones demand answers, start the investigation.

Highlights

  • Discover the charming streets of Monti while playing the quest

  • Explore the Roman Forum

  • Get to see the Colosseum from up close!

The mission: Your story in Rome

It’s 2021: you are Giulia, a young archeologist with a special connection to Ancient Rome. You are the descendant of Valeria Messalina, spouse of Claudius, who reigned over Rome from 41 to 54 A.D. 

A legend about this woman who dressed up as a prostitute has been haunting your family for centuries. She would roam the streets of Rome in search of men, but her life was cut short by a gruesome murder. 

Now it’s up to you to solve the mystery of her death.
