Smoke hangs like a sword of Damocles over the Eternal City. It is June 1849, and the young Roman Republic is faltering under the violence of the French army. Pope Pius IX, driven out by revolutionaries, has called in foreign troops to restore his power. At the heart of this chaos stands Giuseppe Garibaldi. Freedom fighter, adventurer and leader of the notorious Redshirts. He fights for a free and united Italy, and against time.
With the Escape Tour Rome, you step into the shoes of Giuseppe Garibaldi. Garibaldi knows he must leave Rome. Now, or never. If he is captured, the gallows await him. With only a small group of loyal fighters, he must find an escape route. Long ago, he heard rumours of a secret exit from the city, a passage known only to a select few. Just like Garibaldi, you have only two hours. Can you set a fast time?
