## What is One Hot Summer?

It's 1990, and summer on Pickwick Lake starts Memorial Day weekend.

Gavin is eleven. Dad has a boat, Mom has her instant camera, Aunt Carol has a personal watercraft, and best friend Matt lives across the street. Over eleven days - from the first tube ride to Labor Day's last run - Gavin learns to ski, crosses the wake, jumps it, drops a ski, and finally stands up on Dad's old wooden slalom ski.

- Steer by tilting your phone, like a real skier leaning into a turn (or drag a thumb, if you'd rather)
- Mom's instant photo at the end of every day, with a note on the back
- A lake drawn from the real Pickwick: bluffs, coves, a waterfall up the creek, the old chalk mine
- Four score games: Tube Hang-On and Buoy Run from the start, Wake Jam and Trick Run as the summer goes on
- Pass the phone: give a friend a ride, or start a family ski-off for up to four
- Write your own lake memory on the back of a Polaroid, and share both sides
- Weekly Game Center boards: see the friend just ahead of you, and how far - then share your best run
- No ads. No purchases. No tracking. Just summer.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-20

Tour Pickwick, polished:
- The Stay awhile and Send a postcard buttons moved up into the sky, so they no longer sit over Dad at the wheel.
- Tour links now open straight onto the boat.
- Small fixes and smoother sailing.

If you enjoy the ride, a rating helps other Pickwick folks find it. Thank you!

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-19

The real Pickwick: the marinas, the state parks, the dam, the beach coves and the places locals love, with a Places of Pickwick page in Mom's shoebox - and Tour Pickwick, a ride-along with Dad past every one. Smoother story pictures, boats tie up at the docks, and a lighter download.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-19
