The people behind the adventure

Created by Anthony.

A route that brings places and playful storytelling together.

Made by Anthony

Independence-era context

Founding history without the time-travel fiction

Independence Hall hosted debates and decisions connected with both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Nearby, the President’s House site interprets the executive residence used by George Washington and John Adams, and the lives of nine enslaved people held there during Washington’s presidency. This quest uses that difficult founding landscape for a fictional time-agent mission. Playable languages: English.
