About this quest

A walkable game about exploring sites in downtown Concord, such as the historical Vanderhoof Hardware store and the Colonial Inn. 

Intended for young families, especially those who love books like "Make Way For Ducklings." 

If you want to learn or teach the history of Concord in an entertaining way, try this game on a weekend or during a vacation. 

You'll avoid the rush of cars coming home, too. Just be aware that some shops are closed on weekends. The best time to play the game is from 9 AM-4 PM.

Highlights

  • Walk from one location to the next; most of the locations should be close and safe enough for traveling on foot.

  • Take your time to see if there are any squirrels around!

The mission: Your story in Concord, MA

You perch in an oak tree, nibbling an acorn. It's not as tasty as Clark University's french fries. A red squirrel scurries up. 
"Hello!" He says, "I'm Ephraim. Are you new here? I’ve never seen such a well-built female before."

Weren’t gray squirrels as common in Concord as they were in Worcester? Either Ephraim was a flirt, or he was calling you fat. 
"I'm Sylvie. I’m from Worcester," you answer. "Are any french fries nearby?" 

"Sure!" He hops off his branch. "Follow me!"
