About the Game

Roll the dice and discover the history of the iconic Palazzo Farnese: 12 stories as 12 facets of the familiar silhouette that the Romans call the Dice.

Learn about the mysterious ancient mosaics preserved underground. Enter behind the scenes of international diplomacy with the French Embassy, which has had its headquarters at Palazzo Farnese for 150 years. Find the graffiti left by young art students in the 18th century on the walls of the famous Carracci Gallery, uncovered during a recent restoration.

Throughout your journey, you will meet the genius of Michelangelo, pondering the transformation of the Palace as well as his own life; you will enter the second act of Tosca, Giacomo Puccini's masterpiece and visionary dream; you will experience the most eagerly awaited French summer celebration and the arrival of electronic music in the heart of this Renaissance Palace.

Let chance guide you: Palazzo Farnese can be discovered again and again through the 12 stories, with multiple dialogue combinations shedding light on all its secrets.
