Gamers are being asked to hunt down lost artifacts from the American Revolutionary War in a virtual treasure hunt that creators hope will lead to some real-world discoveries.
“June’s Journey” is a popular free-to-play hidden object mobile game from Berlin-based developer Wooga.
Players step into 1920s New York where they take on the role of amateur detective June Parker as she searches for clues to solve crimes. The game has been downloaded more than 50 million times on Google Play.

Now, Wooga has collaborated with historians, museums, galleries and even descendants of some of the original owners to “integrate” missing artifacts into the game for a limited period.
