Why Pompeii?
Although the eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed the city in 79 AD and claimed
many lives, it also preserved a part of Roman history for future generations. Discover
this ancient city like never before.

Created by the Institut Le Rosey:
A collaborative project developed under the direction of a Pompeii expert, with the
participation of students — who composed the original music and contributed to
game design, graphic design, and testing — and produced by DNA Studios.

The sole purpose of the game is to promote history in a fun and engaging way. Le
Rosey is proud to have created this game to make it available to all curious minds,
young and old, who wish to discover Pompeii while learning and having fun.

There is an educational version of the game for a better use in the classroom (see support).

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2026-05-31, version 1.3.0*

Beautiful game, such cute and impressive graphics. Also really engaging and I learned a lot playing it. Thanks to all that made it :)

### 5/5 — 了解到很多关于庞贝的知识

*2026-05-03, version 1.3.0*

游戏制作的特别好，里面穿插的历史故事和艺术作品介绍让我了解到了很多，我以前一直以为庞贝所有人都被埋在地下了，玩了这个游戏之后我才知道大部分人都逃出去了。玩过游戏之后我去搜索了庞贝的引水工程、神庙还有浴室等等，这个游戏真的非常还原了。了不起的作品！期待开发者的新游戏

### 5/5 — So amazing

Genuinely one of my favourite games I’ve ever played, so sad I finished it so fast

### 5/5 — Great detailed game

*2026-04-05, version 1.3.0*

A lot of thought was put into this game. The one thing I would improve is the narrators for the little information recordings. But that’s minor. Will update this when I finish the game

*2026-02-12, version 1.3.0*

This was such a incredible game! Not only was it engaging, enjoyable and fascinating but also as someone who is currently doing a Classics exam with the topic of Pompeii, this has been the best revision tool. I’ve always struggled with studying but in this format of a game which you can tell has had so much passion and care put into it, made revising amazingly fun. I can’t wait to see what’s next!! :D

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-02-02, version 1.3.0*

Where to start! This game was immensely fun with lots of mini-games that were neither cumbersome nor too difficult. I learnt a tonne about Rome and Pompeii and would recommend to anyone (even if they’re not a history buff like me)! One of the  best games I’ve played and only wish there were a sequel!

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!!
