Rome for Easter is iconic: the Vatican is down the street and there are conventional occasions beginning the week earlier than the massive Sunday. However in the event you’re visiting Rome and in search of one thing just a little off the usual Easter path — IKONO has created a enjoyable augmented actuality egg hunt from 11 – 21 April.
IKONO Roma is positioned only a minute from the Pantheon, inside a sublime outdated palazzo. However when you’re via the doorways, it’s something however typical. The house is a sequence of immersive rooms and sensory experiences — some are high-tech and interactive, others are simply playful (confetti blasters!) or visually putting. Assume coloured lights, mirrors, textures, basic arcade video games, and photo-worthy moments via every new house.
On prime of the always-available experiences, for the subsequent 10 days there may be an Easter Egg hunt – not the sweet sort, however a digital model with QR codes hidden all through the rooms. If you happen to discover all of them, you may be entered to win a visit to a different IKONO metropolis (they’ve areas in Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, Copenhagen, Berlin and Budapest). Looking for the eggs was a enjoyable problem — particularly for our two children, ages 5 and seven. They had been completely absorbed find the QR codes, and it gave the entire expertise an additional sense of function.
That mentioned, IKONO isn’t only for households. We noticed primarily {couples} and associates taking it in at their very own tempo. The enchantment is that it’s open-ended: there’s no guided tour or deep historic clarification — simply house to discover, play, and work together. We had been in for about an hour, and it makes an incredible break between extra conventional sightseeing spots. There’s an excellent stability between visible enjoyable and hands-on interplay, and also you don’t must be glued to your telephone to take pleasure in it.
IKONO has been on my record to go to for awhile, and the Easter occasion was an additional bonus – a inventive twist on an OG vacation.
