Mission US was developed for use in middle and high school classrooms. It is meant to engage you in the study of transformational moments in American history. Each mission consists of an interactive game and a set of curriculum materials that are aligned to national standards and feature document-based activities. The game immerses players in rich, historical settings and then empowers them to make choices that illuminate how ordinary people experienced the past.
As a note, you will have to register an account to play these simulations. Registration is free.
