Your Mission Begins Now, Agent of the Revolution.
Winter, 1777 — Morristown, New Jersey.
General George Washington has established winter headquarters in Morristown, and with the fate of the Revolution hanging in the balance, he’s calling on you for a critical mission.
As a newly recruited member of the Culper Spy Ring, your orders are clear: travel across Morris County, gather intelligence, carry out your missions, and uncover hidden truths that could turn the tide of the war. Every successful discovery brings the Continental Army one step closer to victory.
You can select various missions that will take you through the towns of Madison, Chatham, Morris Township, and Morristown—each one filled with whispers of patriot plots and British movements. From roadside markers and public parks to private properties rich in hidden history, you'll need to move carefully, think critically, and stay one step ahead of the Redcoats.
The more sties you visit and learn about, the more points you, your team, or your family can earn! Some sites can be reached on foot; others may require a quick ride by horse (or car). All missions are mobile-friendly and accessible by phone.
Look out for optional Bonus Missions to add to your point total.
Important: Before you begin this incredible journey into the past, you must download the GooseChase App (pictured below). It is free and will be your portal to the past.
