About this quest

For 10,000 years, the steaming waters beneath Bath haven't stopped flowing for a single day. But what if they just brought something back?

Steam coils above the cobblestones. A Roman soldier, dripping and disoriented, pulls himself from the Great Bath into the 21st century. He is bound by a broken vow, torn between two loves, one in Rome, one in ancient Britain, and cursed to wander a fractured reality where the elegant Georgian crescents of modern Bath collide with the lost temples of Aquae Sulis.

Now, the goddess Sulis Minerva has chosen you to be his guide.

Step into a cinematic thriller through the misty, honey-colored streets of Bath. You are the detective bridging two eras. Piece together his forgotten past from ancient symbols hiding in plain sight. Unravel the mystery of his betrayal before the timelines tear apart entirely. Will you rewrite history and grant him peace, or will the curse consume you both?

Is this for you?

Who it's for

History fans and families with teenagers visiting Bath can follow a time-lost Roman soldier from the Roman Baths past Bath Abbey, Pulteney Bridge and the Royal Crescent, solving puzzles in a story laced with myth. It suits anyone who wants more than the museum. At about 2.5 hours and 4.9 km on foot, it is too long for young children or anyone after a quick stroll.

Frequently asked questions

What is Aquae Sulis, and how does this walk connect to it?
Aquae Sulis is the Roman name for Bath. The story imagines a Roman soldier pulling himself from the Great Bath into the present day, wandering a city where Georgian crescents collide with the lost temples of Aquae Sulis, with the goddess Sulis Minerva at the heart of the tale.
Where does the Aquae Sulis walk in Bath start and finish?
It starts at the Roman Baths and finishes at the Temple of Minerva, so it does not end where it began. Along the way you pass 15 stops, including the Cross Bath, Bath Abbey, Pulteney Bridge, the Holburne Museum, the Circus and the Royal Crescent.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about 2.5 hours, including walking and puzzles, over a route of 4.9 km. You do not have to finish in one go: you can pause the game and continue later, which helps if you want to stop for lunch or split it across a day.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
No booking is needed. It is free to play, and you can start whenever you like on your phone, with no group to join and no guide to meet. Friends or family can walk it together at their own pace.
Is it suitable for children?
It is best suited to families with teenagers who enjoy history and a story with myth and fantasy. With a 4.9 km walk and around 2.5 hours of play, younger children may find it long, though the option to pause and continue later can help.
