Ghosts of Chicago
Play a city exploration game in the Lincoln Park area, a massive plot filled with fun public attractions, historic buildings, and garden areas teaming with prairie wildlife.
Over the course of this journey, you'll pass by museums, beautiful outdoor sculptures, and the grounds of the free Lincoln Park Zoo, while also learning about the massive 19th-century cemetery this "spooky" park was built over — thousands of bodies and countless scattered bones are still buried beneath Lincoln Park's soil...
