Testimonials

Escape From Pompeii has proven to be a versatile, motivating, and age-inclusive game that works well both in board game clubs and in project-based learning settings. From a school perspective, I can clearly recommend it.
— Max, teaching grades 5-12, Germany
[Escape From Pompeii] does a great job of drawing in players through reference to what is well known about Pompeii (the eruption). The game, however, does not stop there, as most receptions do, but rather uses this event and the mechanic of time to engage players in the lived experience of an ancient Roman city. ...The game is underpinned by research into the ancient city, and this supports a meaningful engagement with both the ancient evidence, and how we have received it since antiquity.
