The park you have visited your whole life is hiding something.
In three days of July 1863, more men fell here than in any battle ever fought on this continent — and almost every foot of that ground is marked. Three self-guided games send you across it with your phone, reading what the monuments actually say and collecting what they spell. Drive between the stops, walk the last hundred yards, and take as long as you like. No guide, no set start time.
These games run as a driving route across the battlefield, with a short walk at each stop.
“Don't just read the history,
experience it.”

Count the monuments. Crack the codebook. Bring the word home.
Count real things at each monument, decode the numbers with a codebook, and unscramble the letters.
Ride the battle in order. Assemble the word Lincoln buried here.
Seven engraved words across the battlefield each surrender a letter — together they spell the word the whole war turned on.
Read the stones. Take a letter. Make the last pilgrimage.
Seven of Gettysburg's ghost stories, each a door into documented history — then one final pilgrimage before the light fails.
Each game is a self-guided mystery played entirely on your phone — no app download required.
You will visit 5 to 8 real monuments and markers across Gettysburg National Military Park, solving a clue at each one.
Every answer is engraved on a permanent, publicly visible feature — an inscription, a statue, a War Department tablet. You have to be there to solve it.
These games run as a driving route across the battlefield, with a short walk at each stop.
Routes run about 3 to 11 miles of driving depending on the game, and take roughly 1.5 to 3 hours.
Each game link is valid for 7 days from the time of purchase — plenty of time for a full visit.
Battlefield roads are open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (April–October); the National Cemetery is open sunrise to sunset.
The Deep Dive game ends at Evergreen Cemetery, a private cemetery open to respectful visitors in daylight — plan that final stop before dusk.
Gettysburg is hallowed ground. Walk quietly in the cemeteries and never climb on monuments or cannons.
