Boston civic-history context
A route through institutions that helped define the city
Boston Common dates to 1634, making it the country’s oldest public park, while the Boston Public Library became the first large free municipal library in the United States. This quest connects those civic landmarks with other Boston “firsts” and record-setting places. The records are the historical thread; the challenges and player mission are the game layer added to the walk. Playable languages: English.
