Philadelphia, USA

45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Philadelphia, 1776. Ben Franklin has sent you on a top-secret mission: travel to the eve of the Declaration of Independence and collect the certainties that prove the Republic will survive. His archnemesis, I.Q. Bartholomew, is already here, and he will do anything to stop you.

This self-guided city game uses the Questo app to lead you through 11 chapters across Independence National Historical Park. Start anytime at The President's House Site, play at your own pace, and pause whenever you like. No guide, just you, the city, and a mission to save the Republic.

Your route takes in some of the most historic ground in America: the Liberty Bell, the Portrait Gallery in the Second Bank of the United States, Benjamin Franklin's grave at Christ Church Burial Ground, the Free Quaker Meeting House, and the National Constitution Center.

Suitable for all ages. Comfortable walking shoes recommended. The game ends at the National Constitution Center, a short walk from the start.
