Description

Your name is Octavia. You lived here almost 2,000 years ago. Today, as the sun climbs above Vesuvius, you begin reliving your last hours before the eruption: searching for your husband in the Forum, protecting your daughter, and escaping through streets that will soon be buried forever. This self-guided quest takes you on a walk through the ruins of Pompeii. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow Octavia's story at 14 stops: from the Forum and the Temple of Jupiter, through the House of the Faun and the Thermopolium, to the plaster casts of the Hortus of the Fugitives and the Amphitheatre. One of the world's great archaeological sites, brought to life through a story that ends as Pompeii did. Best during the day. Entry ticket to the Pompeii archaeological site required and not included. Explore 2.4 kilometres of ancient streets at your own pace. Perfect for history lovers, couples, and families. No prior knowledge of Pompeii required.

MIND! The game is in English.

My opinion is terrible without having played the game, because it is understood that the content is in Spanish and it is not, the app is in Spanish, but the game is in English, my level of English is medium, but when you are in 30 degrees in the sun, you do not feel like translating a game. We only used it for 10 minutes and we gave up. I insist maybe the game is fine, my score is by language when I specified in the purchase through tripadvisor in Spanish
