Description

Experience history in an entirely new way with Relive 1776: a 5-part, immersive AR tour that takes you through the full Freedom Trail. The events are wide ranging, including everything from trying on colonial fashion to operating a historically-accurate field cannon! You will see British soldiers and colonists appear in the real world, and they will react to the choices you make. After meeting Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams under The Great Elm Tree in Boston Common, you will help them fight back against tyranny in a series of events around Boston. The last experience is at Bunker Hill, where the AR tour ends. You can go at your own pace or even skip stops if you're in a hurry. Each experience lasts 5-15 minutes, and includes a guide. Three experiences use mobile phone AR, and two use AR headsets (which we provide). The experiences are all designed to be fun and educational, and there is no gore. Since we use AR, not VR, you won't experience nausea or safety issues. With AR, you can see the real world at all times. It will be as if history is being transported to you! Finally, all of our headsets are sanitized for each participant to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. Book now! This is an experience you will never forget.
