Jerusalem, 65 AD.
A light to all nations
Experience a reconstruction of the Second Temple not just architecturally but also on a human level experiencing Jerusalem as a pilgrim, a priest or a shopkeeper.
The game encompasses the bustling Royal Stoa to the Women's Court, to the Pool of Siloam and Pool of Bethesda. Rather than take liberties with historical accuracy, creative decisions have been made based upon texts like Josephus and the Mishnah.
Whether you are a pilgrim coming to worship, a shopkeeper thriving in the marketplace, or a priest serving in the inner court, your journey through the Second Temple is here.
Choose Your Journey
Experience the Second Temple by taking journeys like a pilgrim coming for the Tamid, or a pilgrim seeking purification, or as a priest doing his religious duties or as a shop keeper.
Temple Pilgrim
Wake up at your home in Bethphage at the mount of Olives with your wife. You take your donkey to the Jerusalem for the Tamid and meet up with a friend along the way.
Temple Pilgrim
After childbirth purify yourself at the pool Bethesda and make an offering at the Temple as Leviticus 12 describes.
Pilgrimage Road Shopkeeper
Wake up at your home in the lower city of Jerusalem with your husband and make your way to your shop along the Pilgrimage Road.
Temple Priest
As a new priest you wake up at the Chamber of the Hearth with the other priests at the Second Temple. Luckily a friend is there to show you the ropes. He shows you the Mikveh, the lottery, taking part rituals like the Tamid and Ketoret (incense offering).
