Hello Travelers and Adventurers, Explorers and Cartographers!
I’ve mapped out a new digital destination for us to set our sights on! The world is a big place full of many exciting and interesting people, places and cultures to explore throughout. So I thought some of you would join me for a journey around the world in video game form!
Welcome to the Grand World Tour!
The goal is to circumnavigate the world digitally, by playing games from countries worldwide. To do this, adventurers will choose a starting country, and play a game developed by a studio located there. Then they will chose a neighboring country that it touches and play a game for a studio there, and so on until they find a path that circles the globe before finishing in their starting country. If you find yourself at a body of water, then you must play a “Travel game” which I’m classifying as games that involves exploring the ocean, sailing, or flying, before moving to your next country.
To give an Example, Say I choose Canada. I would then play a game by Bioware (or another studio of choice), and would be able to check Canada off. Canada touches the U.S., so I would then choose a studio in the U.S. to play a game for, or I could choose to play a travel game and go across the ocean to Japan or the U.K. etc.
If an Adventurer finds themselves at a dead end, meaning they cant find a studio in a neighboring country, then they may move backwards until they can find a new path to travel, OR, they may play a game which has its setting in that country, OR they can choose to play a Travel game, but only if no other option is available.
I’m not setting a hard time limit for this, as its more about exploring our world and all of the diverse ideas and cultures put forth, to broaden our horizons in some form. However I may offer a prize for things such as the fastest completion, the longest and shortest routes, and hitting all 7 continents first.
Hopefully this makes sense for everyone, but I can try to clarify more if needed.
Everyone have fun and I hope to see a variety of amazing journeys!!
