Self-Guided Exploration Game – Liberty Station

Explore Liberty Station while role playing a recruit from WWII

Explore Liberty Station while role playing a recruit from WWII, which was once known as “the cradle of the Navy,” while solving the mystery of the Ghost Submarine in this fun neighborhood exploration game.

Set during World War II, you and your friends will become “Brad Dutiful” one of the Naval Training Center’s newest recruits.

The pressure is intense, but your heart harbors a patriotism that can overcome any odds. However, during your very first naval radar training, a mysterious chain of events begins.

Could the legend of the ghost submarine really be true? Or, is there an unknown treachery afoot which threatens the training center, and even America itself…?

While you solve clues and explore the former military base, you’ll also check out modern museums, a food hall and a brewery, performing arts groups, and public art. All while discovering how young men, and eventually women, went from civilian to sailor.
