World Stroll: Virtual Travel

Paris, Rome, New York, Kyoto — find the landmarks and World Heritage sites of 16 cities in real street imagery, and collect them in a travel almanac of your own. A virtual trip around the world, ten minutes a day. Follow faint signs on real maps and discover landmarks, food, culture and transport. No combat, no grinding, no gacha. ■ How to play - Pick a city on the world map, and a real map opens up - Somewhere in that city, three "presences" are drifting faintly - "Something smells like broth around here." "A large shadow, far off." - Tap inside a presence to "listen closely" - the circle narrows and a terrain hint opens - Tap again inside the narrowed circle, and you will always find something - What you find is shown in real-world imagery, with a piece of local trivia ■ Reading the map is the skill Along the river, next to the station, deep in the old town - guess "it should be around here" from the terrain and the streets. Walk close to the real spot for a bonus. ■ 16 cities, 320 discoveries - Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe (free to play) - Europe: Paris, Rome, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Berlin - Asia and Oceania: Singapore, Sydney - The Americas: New York, San Francisco The Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Sagrada Família, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Brandenburg Gate, the Sydney Opera House - from famous sights to local food and the way each city gets around. ■ A reason to travel every day - A daily trip, a daily theme and a streak record - A "golden presence" that appears in each city once a week. Catch it for triple XP, and it stays gold in your almanac - "Photo of the day" - look at real scenery and guess which city it is - "Recall notes" - bring back the trivia you read earlier - A weekly challenge - A home screen widget and a daily reminder ■ The joy of collecting - A World Heritage collection - Cross-border quests such as "Towers of the World" and "Ancient Prayers", plus city quests (18 in all) - Complete a city and a stamp is pressed into your passport - 25 achievement badges (streaks, world heritage, night walks and more) - "Learn more" in the almanac opens a second piece of trivia for every discovery - "Reverse stroll" in the cities you completed - look at the scenery and find the place on the map again ■ Compare your skill - "Today's record" - everyone chases the same presences on the same day, so your average distance from the true spot is the measure of your skill - Game Center leaderboards and achievements ■ World Pass (one-time purchase) - Unlocks 11 cities abroad and removes the daily exploration limit - Terrain hints are visible from the start, with no need to listen closely - No need to watch ads to add explorations - Includes every city added in the future, forever - You can also try a few steps in a World Pass city by watching an ad ■ Also - iCloud sync, so your almanac survives a new phone - Real-world imagery appears where Apple Maps Look Around is available ■ This is for you if - You love to travel, but you can't go right now - You want your commute, or the ten minutes before bed, to make you a little smarter - You like looking at maps, and you like filling in a collection - You enjoy World Heritage sites, city walks and trivia
