With America's 250th anniversary this year, the momentous historical occasion has sparked all manner of debate and discussion. But if nothing else, we can all agree this is a landmark moment, but one punctuated by the surprising number of missing gaps even in relatively recent history. Now, Wooga's hit hidden object puzzler, June's Journey, will highlight some of said moments.
June's Journey will introduce new gameplay inspired by missing real-world artefacts tied to the Revolutionary War for American independence. These include part of King George III's Coat of Arms, which was on display at Christ Church in Philadelphia, artillery pieces surrendered to the Americans after the battle of Saratoga and even a medal awarded to famous general Daniel Morgan.
Lost and found
It may seem a bit odd to hope that these artefacts will be rediscovered simply by featuring in June's Journey. But aside from the novelty factor of seeking out recognisable real-world historical items, this wouldn't be the first time that pop culture has helped relocate such objects.
As pointed out by Wooga, the classic children's film Stuart Little helped to rediscover a painting by artist Róbert Berény once thought lost. So it could very well be someone recognises one of these pieces that they have buried in a storage closet somewhere.
And it's not just happenstance that Wooga are relying on either. Over on the official June's Journey website, you can even submit photos and evidence if you think you've stumbled across these artefacts! It's certainly an interesting way to get people thinking about history if nothing else.
