What's it like to run a City Quest in PassportsGo?
A City Quest turns a day in a new city into a race. Your group walks from stop to stop — a little history, a question you can only answer by looking around, a team photo at each one — and everyone plays along on their own phone. Now you can play one from home.

City Quest: Roma is a real PassportsGo City Quest — “Rome: Popes, Sculptors & the Theatre of Water” — turned into a game you play in your browser. Walk from the Spanish Steps to the Turtle Fountain with your team, answer each stop's question on the in-game PassportsGo phone, and race two other teams to the finish.

How a City Quest works in PassportsGo
On tour, a City Quest isn't a game on a screen: it's an afternoon on foot in the city you're visiting, with PassportsGo keeping score. Here's how it goes.
- 01
The group leader starts it
On the day, your leader picks a City Quest and its stops in PassportsGo and taps Start: for the whole group, or as teams racing each other. Everyone traveling gets a notification.
- 02
Walk to the next stop
The quest shows the way: a map with your team's blue dot and walking directions. Each stop unlocks when you get there.
- 03
Read, answer, snap
At every stop: a little history, a question you can only answer by looking around, and a team photo.
- 04
Side Quests on the way
Photo challenges you can snap anytime for bonus points — a local treat with your team, a parked Vespa, a fountain creature, an ancient fragment built into a wall.
- 05
The finish and the recap
Progress shows every team's standing until the last stop. Then the recap, with every team photo, lands on everyone's Home — parents' too.

The quest
Rome: Popes, Sculptors & the Theatre of Water
The 8 stops of the real City Quest, in order — the same ones the game plays.
- 1The Spanish Steps & the BarcacciaA fountain carved as a half-sinking boat, where the Bernini sculptors turned feeble water pressure into Baroque theatre at the foot of Rome’s grandest staircase.
- 2The Trevi FountainRome’s largest Baroque fountain, where the sea-titan Oceanus bursts from a palace wall above water still carried by a 2,000-year-old aqueduct.
- 3Sant’Ignazio & the Fake DomeA church that ran out of money turned its missing dome into Rome’s greatest optical trick — a flat painted ceiling that, from one spot on the floor, seems to soar open to heaven.
- 4The PantheonA 2,000-year-old temple-turned-church whose colossal concrete dome — still the world’s largest unreinforced one — is pierced by a single open eye to the sky.
- 5Bernini’s ElephantA chubby marble elephant by Bernini props a real ancient Egyptian obelisk on its back, wrapped in a cheeky legend about the sculptor’s revenge on quarrelsome friars.
- 6Piazza Navona & the Four RiversFour colossal marble river-gods sprawl beneath a soaring obelisk — Bernini’s dazzling carved map of the whole known world, set on the oval of an ancient Roman stadium.
- 7Campo de’ FioriA hooded bronze philosopher, burned alive in 1600, still glares toward the Vatican from the centre of Rome’s liveliest market square — the darker side of Counter-Reformation Rome.
- 8The Turtle FountainA jewel-box bronze fountain where four youths forever nudge tiny turtles skyward — and where a centuries-old mystery still asks whether Bernini himself sculpted them.
