### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2025-12-31, version 1.3.0*

The story is so good and it’s easy to use the controls.

### 5/5 — Flavia my darling

*2025-12-19, version 1.3.0*

Danger in Pompeii is super cute and fun to play. I’m a Latin student also doing ancient history and I loved this. Beautifully done and encapsulates Roman life wonderfully for something so short

### 5/5 — Free?! How?!

*2025-11-18, version 1.3.0*

I cannot believe that this game is free and has no ads. The gameplay is fun and the story line is super amazing.

### 5/5 — Ottima!!

*2025-10-30, version 1.3.0*

Davvero un’ottima app, anche da usare a scuola!

### 5/5 — Fun and educational game

*2025-10-19, version 1.3.0*

Well-made game that taught me about Pompeii and history. Love the art style and the various game mechanics as well

### 5/5 — A Fun and Unique Experience

*2025-10-17, version 1.3.0*

I really liked the game and I thought the educational aspect to it was really interesting and informative. I have learned new things about Ancient Rome due to this game! The only thing I would have liked is additional end credit scenes to see some of the characters after a while.

### 5/5 — WOW….

*2025-10-13, version 1.3.0*

Amazing, amazing, amazing game!!!!! Very rare to see this level of a depth in a game thats free T_T  Thank you for everyone’s hard work on this!! Enjoyed it 10/10

### 5/5 — This game was so fun

*2025-10-11, version 1.3.0*

I played the game as Flavius and it was so so fun! I loved learning about ancient history and all the characters sorted you could interact with! This game was awesome and I will be playing it again as Flavia to see if there’s any important differences. I don’t know how completely accurate the gameplay is to Pompeii but it definitely made me interested to learn more.

### 5/5 — Très bonne expérience

*2025-10-10, version 1.3.0*

Jeu super chouette, hâte d’en voir de nouveaux !

### 5/5 — love love

*2025-10-10, version 1.3.0*

the best game i have ever played in this app. very edcational

### 5/5 — Yesss

*2025-10-09, version 1.3.0*

One of my most favorite game I love the way they made it and the layout and the puzzle parts I wish there were more games like this!!!!

### 5/5 — absolutely exceptional

*2025-10-08, version 1.3.0*

I hardly ever give any kind of reviews, especially for games, but the way this one has charmed me is beyond me. The graphics, the story line, the side quest, the “knowledge” points???? I’m absolutely obsessed. The only change I would make is for the controls while using the stairs because they sometimes bugged a bit, but aside from that it was absolute perfection.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-10-03, version 1.3.0*

Educational and fun

### 5/5 — Très bon

*2025-09-30, version 1.3.0*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Help Please

*2025-09-25, version 1.3.0*

I'm stuck on a main quest with no available hint (Quest: Tidy the Triclinium). I love this game and want to keep playing but I can't leave the house until I complete this puzzle. Will there be a walkthrough or way to purchase hints through the top toolbar? Thanks!

Great game and I look forward to hopefully playing more.

Edit: Another player had the same problem as me. The items don't look like the ones pictured in the map, plus theres and extra item not pictured. In-game map needs some fine tuning possibly?

Edit edit 2025: They've updated the picture for the puzzle 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Not boring at all! Genius~

*2025-09-10, version 1.3.0*

This game is absolutely gorgeous, lots if side quest and new knowledge for mee!!

### 1/5 — LAME

*2024-12-16, version 1.0.1*

I played this a little and got bored very fast and deleted it because I THOUGHT THE GAME WOULD BE MORE FUN BUT EVERY MOMENT THAT PASSED AS I PLAYED I STARTED NOT TO CARE ANYMORE BECAUSE THIS GAME IS BAD AND LAME😒😒😒😒😒

### 1/5 — Sorry but..

*2024-12-01, version 1.0.1*

The game won’t open ,got a gray screen on ipad ios 17.3 but it look good from the screenshot so if you can fix it.. I will try again in a few days.

### 3/5 — Sympa, instructif, mais une toile de fond un peu élitiste.

*2025-09-22, version 1.3.0*

Un bon jeu, avec quand même quelques bugs et aucun tuto pour comprendre comment les jeux doivent s’interpréter, notamment le coup des mosaïque, c’était un peu hasardeux. Ça manque d’un petit travail sur l’expérience utilisateur. 
Par contre un peu mid le fait de s’intéresser à une petite bourgeoise. Mais j’imagine que ça faisait partie de la dynamique.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2026-03-05, version 1.3.0*

Fun game

### 4/5 — Great Game, Wish There Was More!

*2025-12-24, version 1.3.0*

This game is awesome and entertaining! The graphics are well done, and it’s clear there was a lot of research to make the game as accurate as possible, and I especially liked the Latin labels for the different places. Some of the instructions weren’t super clear, and it was annoying that I had to pay a butt load of money for another hint, but I didn’t mind. The only other thing that would make it better would be a second level, or another game to back up the rebuilding they do at the end. Again, this game was awesome, and thank you for the experience! :)

### 4/5 — really cool but some issues

*2025-06-02, version 1.1.0*

I loved the idea, the story and all the history and mythology! However there are some issues sometimes that makes me close the game. For example: i cant pass the part that i need to reprganize the objects at the triclinium because the door is in front of the object and when i click it only moves the object, not the door....

### 4/5 — Can you?

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.1*

Can you add the Arabic language to understand the game better?

### 4/5 — Problème

*2025-01-13, version 1.0.1*

Le jeu semble très bien,mais je ne trouve pas le moyen de choisir la langue française,pouvez vous m aider?

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2024-12-27, version 1.0.1*

Certainly both atmospheric and educational. You’ve put in a lot of research and effort. Great both for kids and adults!
Unfortunately I can’t finish it: there seems to be a bug in the baths, the brush just disappeared. The mini game with the columns is also broken: I can’t tap or drag and drop pieces, and sometimes the game restarts when the current one is in progress.
I will definitely try to replay and finish it next time around

### 4/5 — Incredible free game

*2024-12-21, version 1.0.1*

It is a really good game to play but the vision are not stable. I love it !!!

### 5/5 — Amazing Game！

*2026-09-03, version 1.3.0*

Educational and fun, really help to learn the history of Pompéi❤️ hope to have more games like this

### 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

*2026-04-06, version 1.3.0*

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

### 5/5 — What a gift!

*2026-02-23, version 1.3.0*

What an educative and fun game!!! Thank you! Informative and entertaining for adults as well! Looking forward to more apps from Rosey!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend for enjoyment plus revision!

*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!!!

*2026-02-01, version 1.3.0*

OMGG AM I DREAMING!! Title of my review is true! Soo much lore, now I know pompeii so much better :) I’m so gonna be successful in my English class ( we are doing a book called escape from Pompeii) so this game has inspired tysm developers

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2026-01-31, version 1.3.2*

This game is amazing. It taught me so about Pompeii, it was really fun to play so many things to do in the game. I love the animations and the little characters 😆🥹
