See the "Past Travelers" who once carried each coin around the world. EXPLORE FOR REAL-WORLD LOOT Materials and famous historical personalities appear on a live map around you. Walk within range to collect them—just like the cities themselves, your loot is tied to where you actually are. BUILD WORLD LANDMARKS TOGETHER Use collected materials to unlock an artwork with quirky facts about the city.Join a Construction Party of up to 100 travelers to build faster—bigger parties need fewer materials per person, so teamwork pays off.
