Experience history walking around talking to era characters and riding what was North Americas northern most transit system. Dodge the Model-T cars and board the trolley, and ride it down Whyte Avenue and across the 153 high "High Level Bridge" shared with a rumbling locomotive.

Earn points by talking to various people such as the stalwart conductor, gruff coal miner, aloof rich woman, optimistic upper class gentleman, and more to learn about the events of the day and get them to direct you to look at landmarks.

Fun for people in Edmonton who will recognize many of the buildings still here a century later, and those outside interested to learn about this bustling and progressive frontier city. To earn 100% (26 conversation points and 6 landmark viewing points) one cannot help but learn a bit of city and era history.

This first person game is the result of research into the local archives, real maps, and prepared with 3D models created by a former movie special effects artist.

It can be controlled with the device touchscreen, or with a Bluetooth gaming controller. It also has two VR (Virtual Reality) modes that allow you to enjoy the experience with wearable devices such as Google Cardboard.
