This is the new chapter in the ArcVenture series. ArcVenture has been an adventure for thousands of young archaeologists and historians since the 1990s. The new series, ArcVenture Online, takes us to the Bancroft Villa to discover the mysteries of the Ancient Romans in Britain.

Meet ARC1, your robotic hovering guide at the dig site and find out about the finds that have been found while uncovering the Roman Villa. When an unknown object is discovered, ARC1 takes you back in time in a simulation to meet the people who lived at the villa in Roman times and solve the puzzle of the mystery object.

You will get to talk to a range of characters who can help you to solve the mystery. Look around the villa and talk to the people who lived there and find out what their stories are. Ideal for ages 7-14, ArcVenture can be played at home or in the classroom as part of a history project to discover lots of information about the Romans in Britain. The whole game can be completed in less than an hour but the extra resources can provide the basis of many hours of extra project work.

There is also a separate, free ArcVenture Player’s Guide app that has lots of extra information and resources to compliment the main game. Before playing, you can also see an introduction video to introduce you to the game. Go to the links below to download the right version of the game for your device.
