The app was developed in partnership between Newcastle University and the Vindolanda Trust and funded by the Arts Council England. It is a 2D narrative game which sees the player visit different buildings on the site and pick up clues to help solve an 1800-year-old mystery. Based on archaeological evidence excavated from the site, including the remains of the child skeleton, the game takes the player back in time from that archaeological discovery in 2010 to c. 230CE to try to solve the mystery. Guided by Aquila the Eagle the player will learn about what life would have been like at Vindolanda in the 3rd century AD by exploring the diverse community that lived there. Users follow Marcus, a Tribune at the nearby Roman Fort of Magna (next to the Roman Army Museum), who receives a request from his friend Vitalis to help him find his missing slave. The app is aimed at Key Stage 2 students (7-11-year olds) but can be enjoyed by any age. It deals with difficult, real-life subject matter, but handles this material with sensitivity: students learn about their past in a way designed to make them ask their own questions and to piece together the clues and information they are given to help them solve the mysteries, just like a real archaeologist! At the end of the game there is also an opportunity to go to the museum and to see the objects that appear as evidence in the game. They can also see the skeleton and discover for themselves how archaeologists have used the information available to learn as much as possible about its past. ## Vindolanda Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource114/v4/32/21/9e/32219e69-c7f0-d3b4-a204-f3c26f29b5ed/7f7f95b9-9604-4381-989b-faad022cd8e6_viniOS.jpg/2778x1284.png) ## Vindolanda Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 2 (40%) - 4 stars: 3 (60%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## Vindolanda Reviews in United Kingdom ### ****- "Great idea but some snags" We used this app as a school group. It was great for the kids to see how Vindolanda would have looked. A couple of snags: Kids need to be able to read at an appropriate level. Voice overs would have been really helpful. The app was quite tricky to see at times on a sunny site. An estimated time for story completion would help us plan our visit too. -- LucyTheCat123, 2023-05-24 ### ****- "Great idea!" This is a brilliant app, and we have been enjoying virtually exploring the site and artefacts. We've run into a problem, though - the app freezes with a black screen just after we've stood in the rain and persuaded the door guard to let us see Sulpicius Pudens. Five times so far. Phone and iOs all up to date, and I've removed and reloaded the app twice... We'd love to play through to the end! -- DrF_2021, 2021-08-12 [View all Vindolanda reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to Vindolanda - [Go Roman](https://apptail.io/app/go-roman-Gpm/united-kingdom) - [MTB Exams](https://apptail.io/app/mtb-exams-qrob/united-kingdom) - [Bugs Matter](https://apptail.io/app/bugs-matter-tibc/united-kingdom) - [Monuments: England](https://apptail.io/app/monuments-england-XXWe/united-kingdom) - [Fettes College, Edinburgh](https://apptail.io/app/fettes-college-edinburgh-zmnm/united-kingdom) - [Station Stories](https://apptail.io/app/station-stories-Kdom/united-kingdom) - [Badge Book - Scouts UK](https://apptail.io/app/badge-book-scouts-uk-lrHn/united-kingdom) - [Whithorn Eras](https://apptail.io/app/whithorn-eras-yCio/united-kingdom) - [Found Your Place Dental](https://apptail.io/app/found-your-place-dental-vRjq/united-kingdom) - [York Unlocked](https://apptail.io/app/york-unlocked-VIPt/united-kingdom) ## Vindolanda Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/vindolanda-the-missing-dead-BMUc/united-kingdom) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/vindolanda-the-missing-dead-BMUc/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
