Turn sightseeing in Rome into a family adventure
Self-guided family missions, quizzes and trails that keep children curious, engaged and excited to explore.
When children lead, everything changes
Using the TrovaTrails app, children follow clues, solve challenges and uncover stories hidden around the city. Each clue leads to the next, turning Rome into a giant adventure.
Instead of passively following adults from site to site, they take the lead. Armed with a mission and a series of clues, they guide the family through Rome, racing to uncover the next secret and spot details others walk straight past.
The result? "How much longer?" becomes "What's next?"
No boring tours. Just fact-finding, clue-cracking, energy-burning fun the whole family will love.

Built for Families Exploring Rome
Kids stay engaged
A mission gives children a reason to look closer. As they follow clues and uncover secrets, they become active explorers rather than passive sightseers.
Less "I'm bored.” And more "What's next?"
Start anytime, explore at your own pace
Download the app and start in minutes. No schedules, no groups and no rushing. Every mission is self-guided, so Rome fits around your family — not the other way around.
Easy to use
Simply follow the clues, answer the questions and let the adventure unfold. No guidebook, map-reading or complicated planning required.
Designed for real families
Designed for children aged 7–12 and their families, with adventures lasting around 60–90 minutes — carefully balanced to keep children curious and involved from start to finish.

" This app strikes an engaging balance between treasure hunting and teasing out details and facts about Ancient Rome. It’s fun for young learners that might otherwise be put off from the overwhelming amount of information and material remains.

Your child is in the driving seat, making decisions, setting the pace and guiding the family from one discovery to the next.
