Games about travel - an IFDB Poll

This list is for games either about travel or with travel as a major part of the plot or background. Stuff like being able to choose where you go from a relatively wide range of destinations, road trips, exploring a city or region as a tourist, or/and a setting in an airport, bus station, train station, or/and other major transit points are all good areas for games to include here.

"See the world, connect clues, learn history" [+]"See the world, connect clues, learn history: You truly do travel the entire game, and it also rewards many playthroughs, since it's so vast. Lots of clues to uncover that I missed in many playthroughs, so it rewards you with multiple tries, even if you 'win' and make it under 80. " --laurennovember...

	1893: A World's Fair Mystery, by Peter Nepstad 3 votes "A HUGE, Exploratory game - if you love History, try it out" [+]"A HUGE, Exploratory game - if you love History, try it out: Specifically, if you love Chicago or just exploring cities in general, the game is a time capsule of Chicago at (I believe) it's most beautiful. It also contains a very involved mystery, where you recover diamonds and help solve kidnapping happening at the same time. The sheer scope of the game is impressive, as are the historical photos that are included in nearly every scene of the game, if playing on QTADS. (Don't be me and choose some alt. game system like Splatterlight. You want QTADS for this, so you can see visuals and get your bearing better.) Also, use/download the map, guidebook, and anything else that's included, and be prepared to take notes. It's a huge, sprawling game world. So much fun (and a little thrilling/spooky at parts) to explore. " --laurennovember... (No comment) [+](No comment) () --Nomad... (No comment) [+](No comment) --penguincascadia... Vote for this game
