CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
is full of light-hearted, challenging fun for the whole family. Become Jerrod
Wilson and experience what it was like to live during one of the most exciting
periods in American history. The interactive format of this software will bring
it to life!
THREE FULL ADVENTURES IN ONE PACKAGE
California Gold Rush is a large,
detailed adventure game comprised of several unique sections, like chapters in a
book. Although it may take weeks or months to complete the entire game, you will
enjoy satisfying accomplishments all along the way. With three separate routes
from New York to California, it’s like having three full adventures in one
package!
 BROOKLYN,
N.Y.: Jerrod enjoys a comfortable, secure life where he and
his brother Jake grew up. As the story unfolds, discover Jerrod’s motivation
to leave everything and head west. You will need to take care of personal
business, find passage to California and prepare specifically for the route you
choose to take. Play each of the three different routes.
 OVERLAND: First, travel to Independence,
Missouri. Once Jerrod has set up camp, there will be much to do and many
critical decisions to make before heading west, into Indian Territory and rugged
terrain. If you are going to survive the extreme conditions of the overland trek
to California, you will need to muster all the frontier savvy you have!
 PANAMA: Travel by ship through the Gulf
Stream to the Isthmus of Panama. Proceed on foot to the Pacific side through the
dense jungles of Central America (sorry, no Panama Canal existed in the 1840’s).
If you make it past the natives, quicksand, gators, snakes, and who knows what
else to Panama City, a ship will come to take you to California.
 CAPE HORN: Become a seafarer and take a
long, perilous voyage from the East Coast of North America around the tip of
South America’s Cape Horn, up the West Coast and through the Golden Gate. True
mariners must combat scurvy, starvation and the dangers of the deep in order to
survive.
 CALIFORNIA: Getting to California really
is only half the fun because the game is far from over once you arrive. You will
still need to solve many intriguing puzzles in Sacramento, Sutter’s Fort,
Coloma, and more.
The package includes:
A beautiful, poster-sized map of the
period showing all three routes to California ¨ A
User’s Guide with detailed setup and playing instructions ¨
Historical background on the California Gold Rush of 1849 ¨
Helpful suggestions for playing each section of the game ¨
Information to help you plan a vacation to the Gold Country!
The Collector's Edition comes
in a hand-made wooden box.
