Turn sightseeing in Rome into a family adventure. Follow clues, solve challenges and uncover secrets together.
Turn "How much longer?" into "What's next?"
Start at home with the free 10-minute Gladiator Quiz, then let your child lead the adventure through Rome.
Instead of passively following adults from site to site, children become explorers. With a mission to complete and decisions to make, they guide the family through Rome, racing from puzzle to puzzle and uncovering secrets along the way.
No boring lectures. No passive listening.
Just curiosity, discovery and shared family adventures.
START AT HOME
Get your child excited about Rome before you even arrive.
Start with the FREE Gladiator quiz. In just 10 minutes, your child will:
• step into the life of a gladiator
• make decisions that get them thinking
• imagine the world of Ancient Rome
• challenge you to beat their score
Then explore more stories — from Roman girls to cooks and soldiers.
So when you arrive, they can picture the real people who lived there and the ruins begin to come to life.

I am not exaggerating when I say that downloading this app and doing these scavenger hunts as a family turned our family trip around in the most positive ways. Our sons, 9 and 5, had the best time searching for clues throughout the city. They loved the work of paying attention to detail and solving the mystery. We loved that they cheerfully marched along without complaining about how tired they were, allowing us to really take in the city and the history as a family. I cannot recommend this enough to families. We particularly loved the Heart of Rome Neptune’s Trident Trail. Thank you to from the bottom of my heart to the developer of these scavenger hunts.
A great way for kids to access the wonders of Rome
by XVII
As a parent who has visited Rome with young kids as a tourist and lived as a resident in Rome with young kids as well, I can say that Trova is a great way to engage them with Rome’s often overwhelming cultural and historical treasures. By breaking down experiences into a fun and well written, well structured game with lots of easily digestible and very interesting and accurate facts, it makes an easy go of what might otherwise be chaotic visits during which a parent who hasn’t studied Roman history in depth might struggle to explain to kids what they are seeing. The pacing and time needed to finish each experience are just right.
My kids loved these adventures. Buy the whole pack before you get to Rome

Unfortunately, we only learned about this app a few days before our trip to Rome ended. We did three of these, and wish we would’ve done all of them. In particular, we paid like $400 for a kids tour of the Colosseum and I think they would’ve had more fun doing this for free (the Colosseum one is free). My girls are aged 6 and 10, and absolutely loved it. Bring a charger for your phone though because it will be used the whole time.
Loved it — for adults too!

I tried TrovaTrivia’s Gladiator Quiz expecting it to be “for kids”… and ended up loving it. It’s fun, smart, and full of great stories that make you think, not just tap answers. I actually learned new things about gladiators — and enjoyed every minute. A brilliant way to turn screen time into something genuinely interesting.
We’ve made it even easier to jump in with our free 10-minute Gladiator quiz — a quick, story-led experience that gets kids excited about Ancient Rome.
Play at home, then arrive ready to explore. New stories and missions available inside.
