The game takes you back to 1916...and on a journey to America. The experience begins in Europe, where players create a virtual identity and pack belongings for the trip to New York City. Once on the shores of their new country, players experience the inspection at Ellis Island and head to their new neighborhood: the Lower East Side. Along the way, players get advice from Victoria Confino, a young immigrant who is wise to the ways of America. Victoria even welcomes players into her crowded tenement apartment through a 360-degree virtual reality experience, where they make choices about what they will do for money, food and fun in America. At the end of the game there are postcards that players can write, print and send.
