A treasure hunt through the ancient palace of Knossos, the most complex archaeological site in Crete. Navigate rooms and corridors of the palace that inspired the legend of the Labyrinth while learning about the royal family, the gods, and the Minoan civilization. This adventure combines mythology, archaeology, and interactive gameplay in one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic historical sites.

Mission

Join Theseus on his legendary quest to locate the Minotaur within the Labyrinth of Knossos. This half-man, half-bull creature is imprisoned in the most complex maze ever built, a prison designed by King Minos to hide a shameful secret. Navigate the ancient palace, solve riddles that reveal the layout of the Labyrinth, and with help from Ariadne’s thread of clues, find the Minotaur’s chamber and claim victory.
