Eighty Days

London, 1872. Phileas Fogg has wagered everything that he can circle the globe in eighty days — and you are the hand on the map.

The Race

Plot your route across a painted world map from London to Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York and home again. Every leg is a decision: the steady mail train, the faster but chancier steamer, or an unlocked shortcut — desert caravans, mountain passes, even a certain hot-air balloon. Days are your lifeblood and pounds are your fuel, and the clock never stops at 80.

The People

Every city is a walkable little 1870s postcard with three locals to meet. Stationmasters sell express timetables that shave whole days, captains offer extra coal and calmer seas, merchants know the unmarked routes, and a relentless Detective Fix is convinced you're a thief — keep your heat down, bribe him, or lose precious days to his warrants. Rescue a certain someone in India and she may repay the favor at your darkest hour.

The Wager

Follow the book's classic route or gamble on bold alternatives. Cross the date line and gain a day. Cable home for funds when the purse runs dry. Win the wager, and history remembers your name.
