One of the best games I’ve ever played!

I discovered this game because it was apart of a offers page. I wanted to get this SHEIN $750 dollar reward card. But it told me I had to complete 12 offers before I could get it. This was one of the games I downloaded it told me I had to reach level 7. It’s almost level 12 and honestly I was hooked the first 5 minutes of playing! It was quite funny because I didn’t care anymore about that offers page. I had found a one of the most fun games ever and that’s what I was happy about. You can play this game for hours and be entertained. You will be upset when your energy runs out. But you can watch a few ads to gain more energy. It’s kinda of a good thing for you to take a break and let the energy build up again. You can buy more energy but it’s really not necessary. So this game so so fun. I could play it for hours. I highly recommend it. I even shared on my Facebook. It’s rare for me to share games like that but I was like this game is real special. So yes this is the type of game you will wanna keep playing again and again.

Still getting stuck with big update…

First off, I do really enjoy this game, and I don’t mind the new update too much. Even though we had to start over, you gave us all our diamonds back, and it was kind of nice to start with a fresh board again. HOWEVER, you said it was to give smoother progresss for everyone and less instances of getting stuck and that’s NOT what’s happening for me. I’m at level 16 and progress has pretty much halted completely. Tasks that offer supplies as rewards are not often enough to continue upgrading the buildings so I have 3 buildings just sitting there waiting for me to get more cement mixers, brick walls, and boxes of nails. So progress has almost completely stopped for me and I am unable to play the game as intended. I get what you were trying to do but you need another update to accomplish it. Right now I am just disappointed and frustrated. (Side note, the amount you get for selling high level items is ridiculous. For example, the large bacota sandwich is level 13, but when you sell it you only get 12 back, which is borderline insulting! You get 1 for the mix of olives that is level 2 in the same category so we should be getting A LOT more back for the sandwich considering it takes 2,048 olives to create it…just something to think about as this is always something about your game that has always rubbed me the wrong way.)

Developer Response ,

Hi, please send us an email about this at [email protected] Thank you.

Used to like it a lot

Thie game started off really fun and I really enjoy it especially considering theres little to no ads interrupting everything. It takes so much time and energy now to actually accomplish anything and even if I use gems to replenish my energy half the time it gives me things I don't need. My board has become so full and overwhelming that I can barely tell what I have on it anymore. And random stacks of cookies now? What am I supposed to do with these? I have resorted to selling them which only gives me like 2 energy. Selling high quality items barely gives you anything. And im now stuck on trying to get enough coins and building materials. I'm pretty far along but thats because I give a lot of time between to build up energy. And also the daily challenges are near impossible, you would have you spend basically 24/7 on the game to get all of them considering it asks you to collect coins most of the time. I also hate the tile/pottery thing, takes so much energy to use it and it never gives you want you want. This game is based on luck now. Stop adding random stuff and cluttering everything. If we complete one of the producers and max everything out in it we should be able to put it away indefinitely so there's more space, allow easier daily tasks, make maxed out items worth more. And get rid of the useless items that build up.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We will certainly take it into consideration as we are continuously enhancing Travel Town.

City Guesser: The Addictive Online Travel Game That Will Test Your Geography Skills

• Best Of Travel

On our latest list of obsessions, we’ve discovered an addictive online game called City Guesser – and we can’t stop playing.

How does City Guesser work?

You’re dropped virtually into a random city around the world where you can watch a live video walkthrough as though you’re there, all the while hunting for clues to guess exactly where you are on a world map.

You can either go worldwide to make it completely randomised or hone in on a particular country you think you’ve got down pat.

How to play

The process to play is pretty simple; just choose your difficulty and location then watch as the camera walks through a city and make your guess on a world map as close as you can to the exact location of where you are.

There is also a multiplayer option so you can compete with friends and see who’s the best geographical king or queen in the group.

Here’s a tip

Look out for clues like shop signs, the language they’re written in, what the people walking around you look like, iconic structures, and significant locations to help you figure it out.

Who knows, you may even learn a thing or two about some cities around the world you haven’t had the chance to visit yet.

Hi Derek, Thanks so much for your comment. I apologize if the photo was confusing. I didn’t mean for you to guess the city based on that photo. This was a graphic I used for the post. Please do check out the game City Guesser. I think you’ll find it fun!

I think you’re supposed to respond within the game, not here.

Exactly. Thanks Christian!

Travel Town Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Complete More Levels and Rebuild the Entire City

By: Author Barbara Craig

Posted on Last updated: April 6, 2022

Travel Town is a match and merge puzzle game developed by Magmatic Games, and it’s currently available on iOS and Android platforms. On top of the beautiful sharp graphics and matching sounds, Travel Town comes with an addictive gameplay, that fans of the genre will certainly enjoy.

To get you started on the right foot, we have put together a comprehensive Travel Town beginner’s guide . We will start this guide with explaining the basic mechanics and continue with effective strategies to advance quickly in the game, rebuild the city and help your neighbours. Of course, without forgetting to enjoy the thrill of finding new and better objects as you go merging.

Travel Town is visually similar and has the same mechanics as Merge Mansion , a game that we have covered before here at Level Winner. So if you had the pleasure of playing that game, then you probably won’t have any major problems going through Travel Town.

The game takes place in Travel Town, a beautiful seaside that was ravaged away by a storm. Your main objective is to restore it and help your neighbours who were left with nothing. Meanwhile, you discover new objects. The mechanics of the game consists of mixing matching objects to get better and better objects. You can sell these objects to your neighbours who in exchange will give you smileys among other rewards. Smileys are the in-game currencies in Travel Town, and you will use them to rebuild the town. To start to play you need to use energy. At the beginning you have 100 units of energy in the form of lightning and you must use it wisely to advance levels. But be careful, in between you must pay attention to how you organize yourself. Here I will share with you several tips and strategies to be able to advance quickly in Travel Town.

1. Starting From Scratch And Cleaning Your Place

At first, you will start with little free space to merge. Not only that, but you will also find spaces blocked by objects covered in sand. Do not worry that this is momentary and here you will see how to proceed to optimize your space.

These grey objects that you find buried in the sand have to be removed with a matching item. To do this you must take objects out of the bucket and mix until you get the one you are looking for.

Now you may ask: How do I know what I need to mix to get what I’m looking for? Well, at first you will not have major difficulties. Keep looking, you’re on the right track. Once you achieve to unlock the space you will have a little bit more room and be more comfortable.

Pay attention not to miss the opportunity to unlock a space if you have the same item. As you advance in level, more spaces will be freed up to work and you will be able to have a greater variety of objects. You will also be able to see stars with numbers drawn on the sand, these numbers indicate at what level that space is unlocked. But you may have to dig up some grey object from that new place. When the neighbours see what you achieve on the beach, they will add you to the chat group.

There you can keep up-to-date with everything they would like to improve about the city, as well as read pretty funny things apart from the fact that they don’t stop talking in that group.

2. Stay Organized And Save Space

Maintaining order in Travel Town can be crucial and makes the difference between an average player and a pro player. Maintaining order in the first levels is not something very difficult to achieve, since you will only have a couple of objects on the playground. But what happens as you go forward? As you advance in the game you will have a greater variety of objects at your disposal.

Not only that, but you will also have to achieve more complex objects and you will have the board with half-jobs distributed everywhere. So how can you improve this situation?

A good option is to organize them by type , this way you will have more ease when searching for a particular object. For example, you can group the objects that come out of the bucket in one corner, the objects that come out of the picnic basket in another corner, and so on. You can also save space by gathering all the same items , so you will have more free places.

Another option is to keep rare items, that you are not going to use for the time being, in the inventory. What happens if you follow the previous steps and still fill the sandbox with things? Can’t you keep mixing? Okay, do not worry! In this case, you have two options, one is to sell the objects in exchange for smileys, touching the object you want to sell and then below the currency symbol you can make the sale in exchange for smileys.

Some lower-tier items you will not be able to sell but if you need the space urgently you can remove them. You select the object first and then down in the garbage can. Throwing out the items does not benefit you since the sale value is not as good as the value for which the neighbours pay, but it’s still something. That’s why you have to try not to get to this point.

The inventory will also be enabled, where you can initially store up to 7 objects. You can unlock more slots in exchange for diamonds.

3. Keep Your Neighbours Happy And Successfully Deliver Orders

The neighbours seem to love the items you manage to get from the sand. That’s why they will be constantly requesting new items. Before starting to create an order object, you should review all the orders you have.

This way, you avoid making a very complicated request when you have an object that’s almost ready on your board. Sometimes the commands are very simple, but other times they are a bit more difficult. There may be unique objects , which you will have to find out where or how to get them. It may also be that you order 2 or 3 objects together.

And you have to get them all, they don’t take half orders. This may seem difficult, but as the game progresses you will become a master at delivering double or triple commands. I recommend that you try to start with the most difficult of the 2 items. When you get this object it will turn green, this way it is very easy to identify them and you will know that you have to deliver it.

An ideal scenario is that you group the objects in green in some sectors of the board where you do not move the items much. This is so that you don’t keep mixing it with the same item and you lose the needed level. So you will leave it waiting until you get the others.

Why shouldn’t you overdo the level? If you build higher-level objects, you will spend more energy and later you will not be able to sell them and they will take up space. Also, you will have to start from scratch to build it again and deliver it, since you cannot go back. For example: if a neighbour asks you for a Nautilus shell but you continue mixing until you reach a starfish, then you will not be able to go back and you will have to wait for someone to ask you for that object.

Another thing that can happen is that you see some requests in grey: when you see this, if you try to open it, it will tell you that you have to go up to the next level to be able to take that order. So first you must level up completing other orders and then you will see what the order is about.

4. Start Little By Little To Buy Buildings And Reform Them

As we mentioned before, smileys are the in-game currencies. You can spend smileys on keys, so you can rebuild the buildings of Travel Town. You have several options to get smileys:

Fulfilling the requests of the neighbours: You will constantly have orders to deliver. Although, some objects will not give you many smileys in return. Some neighbours are willing to pay fortunes for rare objects. But yes, you have to know how to find them.

Mixing certain objects: There are some objects such as photos or jewels that, when merged, may reward you smileys. You’ll notice because they will fly on the board, so don’t forget to collect them!

Buying smileys in the store: Some days there are available smileys in the store for purchase. It’s a lazy option and you must pay with diamonds in exchange if you do not want to merge.

Selling objects: Another good option is to sell some items that you have left and that you think you will not need. Once you sell an item, you will see how many smileys you got for that item in return.

Hmm… did you regret selling it? After the sale, you can recover the item by going down where it says undo selling and select the circular arrow. But be careful, once you select something else on the screen, the option to have the object returned to you will disappear.

Opening chests: The majority of the chests have smileys as a reward, and you will be able to get many out of them. But of course, getting chests is not easy. You will have to fulfil orders, level up or rebuild buildings to get them. Once you get the necessary resources you can start upgrading the city. Keep in mind that in this case, you are going to need a pile of wood planks as well as smileys. Later in this guide, we will explain how to get the materials.

5. Squeeze The Juice Out Of Your Resources

The items that allow you to advance in the game faster are the following 3. Don’t forget to take care of your resources because they are the key to success in Travel Town.

Smileys: You need to get the maximum number of smileys to be able to pay for the key to the land that you are acquiring and also for the restorations. Doing this will give you experience points and you will advance in level.

That’s why every time a face item appears on the board, it is recommended not to sell it immediately and keep them in the inventory to mix them and reach the maximum level. This way, you can obtain greater benefits than selling them one by one.

For example: If you only have one smiley and you sell it, they will give you 1 in exchange, but if you have 2, they will give you 3, if you have 4 they will give you 7, if you mix 8 they will give you 15, and if you reach the maximum level of the item (level 5) which is 16 will give you 32 smileys. This is a lot of difference to make if you are patient and wait until you have the maximum level before selling it.

Energies: the energies will allow you to continue loading objects on the board, they renew themselves from time to time, but, indeed, they are also spent quickly when you need to deliver an object. That’s why every time an energy item appears, like the smileys, it is recommended to keep them in the inventory to mix them and reach the maximum level. This way you can get more benefit from it, for an energy item at the maximum level, you will get 100 units of energy.

A tip to get more energy is to take a good look at the sign that appears when you run out, since sometimes to the right of the option to pay with diamonds it gives you the option to see a commercial in exchange for 25 energy.

And because they are short commercials, I think it’s worth watching the commercial instead of spending diamonds on energy.

Diamonds: Diamonds are definitely the most precious and that’s why you have to avoid wasting them. In Travel Town, you can use it for almost everything. For example, you can skip the waiting time of some items with diamonds, but is it worth it? Perhaps, you can be patient with the wait and use the diamonds to exchange them for space in the inventory or get energy at good prices.

Check the offers daily, there are days that for a few diamonds you can get energy packages or chests. And just like energies and smileys, diamonds can be pooled together to make the most profit from selling them. Don’t forget that every time you discover a new item, it will appear in the collection book as a gift.

You must open it and inside it, you will find a diamond. So every day at the end of playing you can go to the book to continue completing the collections.

6. Permanent Objects

Permanent objects are those from which you can obtain objects in exchange for energy. These objects cannot be sold and you can take them to their maximum level. The higher its level, the better objects you will obtain from it. Keep in mind that of the objects that you can get from inside in exchange for energy, you will not be able to select them since it will give you a random object. Permanent items have a cooldown time that depends on the item.

As much as you have energy, you will not be able to remove objects infinitely. When the inside is finished, a clock will appear indicating how long you must wait until you can get objects again. There are times when you will be lucky and it will give you some higher-level item. Here are some permanent items that you will find in the first levels: Beach Bucket: This is the first permanent item that you get in the game. It is formed from buckets and you can take it to the maximum level, which is 9. From here you can obtain pebbles, stones, sandcastles and seashells, among others. When it is at its maximum level you will be able to obtain the mysterious letter from here but to be honest it will not be easy to obtain one.

With the objects that come out of the bucket, you can complete the Shells and the Sand Castles book collection. Picnic Basket: This basket, like the bucket, is one of the first permanent items that you obtain and that requires energy to deliver objects.

From here you can obtain spoons, olives among others. And you will be able to complete the Picnic Food series and the Cutlery Tools series. Jewellery display: When you take the jewellery display to level 4 you will have a jewellery box. It is a permanent item which means that it will remain on the board forever, not only will you be able to create beautiful jewels with what is inside it but it also has a particularity.

It is that this jewellery box does not use energy to generate objects! Which means that you will have endless items? Well, yes and no, because if it has a cooldown time. You can place the jewellery box in the middle of the board and you can see how the objects jump out.

In case you have a full workspace, I recommend that you keep the jewellery box surrounded by items. This way, neither of the will pop from inside, occupying the place you need on the board.

Once they stop coming out, you will have to wait for the recharge time to expire. If you need to make a jewel and you don’t want to wait for the recharge time, you can also use diamonds to skip the time. A trick for when they give you a reward jewellery box and you have one on the board: first you empty the one you have on the board until the clock mark appears indicating that you have to wait.

Next step, you lower the new jewel box to the board and empty it too. Once the 2 are with the cooldown clock, you merge them. This will not only give you a higher tier jewel box but also resets the time so you can empty it for the third time. 

7. Reward Items

Crates: Crates have 5 levels. Inside the crates, you can get smileys or  diamonds. When you get one, either for a level-up reward or for having completed a level. You can open it or you can also save it and wait till get one of the same level to be able to merge them.

Whichever option you choose, when you want to open it you have to select them and choose the option to open there will tell you how long you have to wait. The higher the level of the crate, the greater the rewards, but also the longer it will take to open.

Energy crate: The crates contain only energy inside so nothing that comes out of it can surprise you. They are usually achieved by levelling up or completing an order. These crates cannot be levelled up as they are at their maximum level when they appear. Toolbox: Toolboxes are boxes full of tools where you can find everything from screws and wood to cement and bricks for construction. They are crucial for building upgrades. Not only that, but they are quite difficult to get, usually given to you as a reward for hard-to-complete orders.

So I recommend that you keep everything that comes out of the toolbox well until you can get the maximum level of each item. So when you manage to build, for example, a brick wall or a concrete mixer, it will be kept in the inventory until you use it in some upgrade.

These tool items will be saved in the second tab of the inventory. So you should not worry about them taking up space. You can go check what materials you have stored at any time.

8. Special Items Are Difficult To Get

Joker: The jokers are rarer items than diamonds. And they have the peculiarity of being able to duplicate any common object you have in the playground. If you’re lucky enough to get one, I don’t recommend using it to combine with a pebble.

Save it or use it to combine with an object that has a very high tier level. This way you will save a lot of time. You also have the option to buy it in the store in exchange for diamonds. So it would be a good purchase. Bubbled items: Bubbled items are items that appear inside a bubble when you are creating an object. These objects are trapped and you will not be able to use them unless you pay their reward in diamonds. Its price varies depending on the difficulty of the item. It may be that you are not interested in taking out of the bubble in exchange for some diamonds. But as soon as an item that you need appears, this may be worth spending diamonds on.

Be aware, you cannot doubt it for a long time since the bubble will disappear in a short time. Don’t worry if you decide not to pay with diamonds, the bubbles always leave you something in return, which can be a smiley, energy or even a diamond.

Mysterious letter: Just as its name says, this letter is mysterious, it is rumoured that it has a map inside and that it takes you to some hidden place in Travel Adventure, have you got it yet? Do not worry that as the levels progress they will come to your hands. As a suggestion, you should start by getting letters out of the bucket. Mysterious fossil: If there was something more mysterious than the mysterious letter, it is surely this fossil. It is much more difficult to get, but believe me, it has a very good reward.

9. Take Part In Special Events

Do not forget to complete the special events, they are a good opportunity to gather resources. Daily challenge: It is a daily event that will appear as an order on the top right and when you open it you will be able to see the tasks to complete. This order, unlike the others, has a time limit that you cannot exceed. You can see the time remaining from the order or when opening it as well.

You can also see the counter, for example, if it says 0/3, it means that you have 0 tasks performed out of 3. As you complete them, it will indicate 1/3, 2/3, and so on until it reaches 3/3. Completing it will give you the reward indicated in the order. Wildlife sanctuary: it is a special event to which you are going to be invited to travel to the jungle. Precisely to a sanctuary, where you can feed and rescue tigers, cut dry or fallen trees, and plant new and healthy ones.

During our stay in the sanctuary, you have to try to complete as many requests as possible. Here there are no smileys as a reward for orders. But in exchange for completing an order, they will give you a paw token.

As you collect the paws you will advance in level, each time you reach a new level you will need more tokens to complete it. Once the time of the stay finishes, they will give you a diploma with the maximum level you reached and with it the rewards. The levels that you can reach range from level 1 to 8.

In the sanctuary, you will have a different energy, which has the same functionality as in the rest of the game but it is blue. When you run out of energy, you can go out and wait for it to recharge or you can also buy it with diamonds.

You can also collect smileys that will appear from time to time when you mix some items, it may be that smileys appear and you can collect those, a tip to take advantage of here is that if you see that our time in the jungle is running out and they are going to be left items, the ideal is that you can sell them before leave. Because once the time is up you won’t be able to come back for anything from the place.

The mechanic is very similar to what you’ve been doing. Only that here your mission, apart from completing the orders, is to rescue the tigers that are in the jungle. To do this, the first thing you must do is get items from the worker’s hut in exchange for energy. From here you can get tools, seeds and feeding bottles.

How to rescue your first tiger? The tigers are lost in the middle of the jungle but to get to them you must first cut down the fallen trees. You do this by taking some items of tools to the maximum level until you get a chainsaw. With it, you can choose the place to weed. Note that there are two types of trees to cut, one is the dry one that you will have to cut 2 times, so you will need 2 chainsaws.

And the other one is the stump for which you’re going to have to cut only once. Both will give you lodges in return. Once you enter the jungle you will find items in grey covered by the undergrowth, to unlock it you must get a matching item. When you go into the jungle, you may find a baby tiger in grey and to rescue it you will need to have another one. To get one you have to take a feeding bottle to the maximum level, then you double-tap it and a baby tiger will appear.

Once you got the baby tiger now with it, you can rescue the one you found in the jungle.

How do you plant new and healthy trees? Once you were able to remove the dry trees, the idea of ​​the sanctuary is that you reforest it with healthy trees. To do this you must start by mixing the seeds until you bring them to their maximum level. When you manage to have a Sundari tree, it will provide you with seeds and flowers without having to spend energy in return.

As soon as you finish don’t forget to claim your reward.

10. Be Persistent And Be Patient

As you progress in the game, you can achieve more complex items. Or maybe you use up energy faster. But don’t get discouraged, you can close the game and come back when you have full energy. Some items will take a few days to form but in the meantime, you will always have some other easier items to deliver. And when you have a permanent item in cooldown, relax and do other things in Travel Town.

That was our last piece of advice, and with that we conclude our Travel Town beginner’s guide. Hopefully, the tips and tricks we shared in this article will help you to advance in the best way until you complete your collection of objects and restore the city. If you have discovered any other tips or tricks during your gameplay, we would be happy to hear from you! Feel free to drop us a line in the comments below!

28 of the Best Travel Games for at Home and Abroad

Written by Dalene Heck

We have always loved games – board games, card games, Nintendo 64 – you name it, we probably tried it at least once. And in all of our nomadic travels, we were never without one. We always had a pack of basic cards with us, for sure, but more often than not, we also travelled with a game like Exploding Kittens or Bohnanza stuffed somewhere in our luggage. Basically, we didn’t travel without a travel game!

Maybe you aren’t surprised that we then created our own travel game , because, why not? We had so much fun designing and infusing it with memories from the road. And we specifically made it small enough so that travellers like us could take it on the road.

But, why stop there? We may think of our own game as the absolute best (we admit to being totally biased), but we also wanted to create a unique list of travel-themed games and portable games so that you can share in the fun. From epic board-top adventures to exciting pocket-sized escapades, these games are your passport to endless fun on the go.

Travel-Themed Games

Trip chaser.

Details: 2-6 players | 60 minutes

Trip Chaser (this is our travel game!) is the ultimate armchair travel card game for competitive people. Get ready for a globe-trotting experience without the hassle of airport security, faster than you can say “upgrade to first class”.

Prove who’s the most travel-savvy by buying, bartering, and gambling your way to various destinations. The more challenging a destination is to get to from North America, the more points it’s worth! Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins humble bragging rights for life.

You’ll traverse the world from the comfort of your living room — just remember to budget wisely because even in this game, money talks when it comes to jet-setting. Expect a blend of challenges and familiar on-the-road encounters that’ll keep you on your toes and itching for more.

It’s like travelling without jet lag, but with all the fun!

Fun fact: Place an order, plant a tree! One tree will be planted for every game purchased to help offset carbon emissions.

Shotgun! The Card Game for Road Trips

Details: 2+ players | 30 – 480 minutes

Say goodbye to road trip boredom and hello to endless laughter with this family card game designed to turn your drives into unforgettable adventures.

Whether you’re belting out tunes, tackling trivia, or taking on hilarious challenges, Shotgun! guarantees non-stop entertainment for the entire journey.

With over 200 cards packed with dares, questions, and more, no two games are ever alike – meaning the fun never stops, mile after mile.

Fun fact: This game came from the creators of the hilarious “What Do You Meme”.

Ticket to Ride

Details: 2-5 players | 30-60 minutes

All aboard for a journey through time and tracks with this board game that’s a hit among train enthusiasts and history buffs alike!

Ticket to Ride is a travel game which requires you to outdo your opponents by constructing the most epic train route across turn-of-the-century North America. From coast to coast, you’ll be charting a course to coveted destinations while navigating the twists and turns of railroad history. (The phone app version of this game is also very good and one that we play often.)

Fun fact: The creator said that the idea for Ticket to Ride came to him during a morning walk along the Atlantic shore in Beverly, Massachusetts, in 2003, when he struggled with a concept for a different train-themed game.

Around the World in 80 Days

Details: 2-6 players | 45-60 minutes

Around the World in 80 Days, derived from the Jules Verne classic, challenges players to travel the Earth in 80 days, facing obstacles and adventures as they go.

The first player to return to London wins, but there’s a twist! You left the city under suspicion of theft from Her Majesty’s bank; you must return without any Rumor cards and £10 or less to prove your innocence. Be careful, though – moving too fast drains your wallet.

Winning requires alternating between cautious and ambitious moves, waiting for the perfect moment to return to the city. It’s one of the most fun travel games out there!

Fun fact: Based on the classic novel by Jules Verne.

Discover: Lands Unknown

Details: 1-4 players | 60-120 minutes

In the unforgiving wilderness, survival is a team effort – but with a healthy dose of competition thrown in. In Discover: Lands Unknown , work together to scavenge for water, food, and tools crucial for staying alive.

Just remember, the wilderness isn’t giving up its secrets that easily.

Think: Choose your own adventure.

Fun fact: Every copy of this board game is unique, with randomly selected components creating a different land for players to explore.

The World Game

Think you know your world geography? The World Game is a card game that will test that knowledge about different countries and facts about each. It’s one of the travel games that is easy to learn and simple to play. Plus, it’s a fantastic way for anyone to learn about countries around the globe. There is also a World Game board game edition where players race around the world to discover famous landmarks along the way!

Fun fact: Did you know that Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia? We did because we’ve been there and we love that city. But if you didn’t, perhaps it’s time to brush up on your world geography.

Lost Cities

Details: 2 players | 30 minutes

Lost Cities is a two-player card game in which players embark on adventures to remote locations worldwide, seeking to uncover ancient treasures and artifacts. By mounting profitable archaeological expeditions to the different sites represented by the coloured suits of cards, players gain points to beat their opponents.

It’s a simple yet engaging travel game of risk and reward.

Fun fact: The game’s designer drew inspiration from his love for history and exploration.

Passport To Culture Travel Edition

Details: 2-5 players | 30-90 minutes

In Passport to Culture , players jet-set around the globe on a quest to fill their passports with stamps—it’s like a whirlwind vacation without the jet lag. Here’s the catch: to earn those stamps, you’ve got to flex your cultural muscles and answer questions about the diverse peoples and places you encounter.

Fun fact: The game includes more than 1,000 new and unique questions.

Lewis & Clark – The Expedition

Details: 1-5 players | 120 minutes

Explorers race from Missouri to Oregon, asking local Indigenous tribes for help. Set in the early 19th century, players of Lewis & Clark lead expeditions through the uncharted territories of North America. They face challenges along the way and make important strategic decisions to progress in a matter of hours, instead of months.

This travel game offers a rich historical theme and immersive gameplay.

Fun fact: On November 30, 1803, the United States purchased Louisiana from Napoleon. President Thomas Jefferson decided to send two explorers – Meriwether Lewis and William Clark – to discover it.

Backpacker: The Ultimate Travel Game

Travel the continents, taking photos in different countries. To win at Backpacker , this travel game requires you to outwit your opponents to be the player who has returned home with the most photos.

Play your cards wisely as you globe-trot through continents, dodging sick days and missed flights like a pro. With bonuses, advice (both good and bad), and the occasional curveball from fellow travellers, it’s a backpacker’s dream – or nightmare.

Pack your patience, plot your path, and brace yourself for a journey where anything can happen – and usually does.

Fun fact: Founded by two avid travellers who wanted to capture the excitement and challenges of globetrotting in a tabletop game.

Monopoly Here & Now: World Edition

Details: 2-4 players | 60 minutes

Like the classic board game, Monopoly Here & Now: World Edition throws in a global twist!

One of the most popular travel games sees competitors buy famous landmarks from cities worldwide, from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House.

Roll the dice, make deals, and watch out for surprises along the way. It’s Monopoly on a worldwide scale – get ready to wheel and deal your way to victory.

Fun fact: A public online vote chose the iconic landmarks featured in the board game.

Flags Around the World

Ready to show off your flag-recognition skills and become a globe-trotting trivia master? In Flags Around the World , you’ll spot flags, tackle country-themed questions, and rack up points.

Whoever ends up with the most points reigns supreme – it’s like winning the World Cup of trivia!

Fun fact: This is one of the travel games that holds the Guinness World Record for being the most widely played educational card game in history!

TABLETOPICS – Destination Anywhere

Details: unlimited players | unlimited minutes

Destination Anywhere isn’t about earning points, but it is the perfect addition if you want an excuse to talk about your travels (not that you need one)!

Whether you’re a globe-trotting wanderer or a weekend warrior, chances are you’ve racked up some seriously epic tales. This clever collection of icebreakers will have everyone swapping stories about their jaw-dropping escapades and wild getaways. Just no snooze-inducing slideshows are allowed.

Fun fact: No rules – just great conversation.

This That And Everything Canada

Details: 4+ players | 20 – 100+ minutes

As proud Canadians, we had to throw in a travel game that keeps us close to home! This That and Everything Canada is a perfect travel game for fellow Canucks and Canuck-curious comrades.

The concept is simple: where you and your team race against the clock to conjure up clues faster than a Mountie on horseback. From iconic Canadian landmarks to quirky cultural cuisine (think: ketchup chips), no topic is off-limits in this patriotic pursuit of guessing glory.

With each round lasting a mere 30 seconds, it’s a rapid-fire frenzy of descriptions, guesses, and inevitable fits of laughter. Can you paint a vivid enough picture of poutine or the elusive “double-double” to lead your teammates to victory? There’s only one way to find out!

So gather your toques, sharpen your wit, and prepare for a Canadian-themed showdown like no other.

Fun fact: Sorry, there’s no apologizing for the puns.

Other Games Made For Travelling

Settlers of catan – dice edition.

Details: 3-4 players | 60-120 minutes

Settlers of Catan is like the Olympics of board games, where players compete to build the most epic empire on the island of Catan. And being one of the planet’s most popular games, it’s awesome that it’s available in a dice version, also making it a great travel game.

With resource management skills that’d impress even the shrewdest CEOs and negotiation tactics sharper than a cat’s claw, you’ll trade, build, and strategize your way to victory. Collect sheep, wood, rock, brick and wheat, but always remember that every resource is a golden ticket to expanding your territory and outsmarting your rivals.

Plus, don’t forget to watch out for the robber – he’s like the neighbourhood cat who always knows where the treats are hidden and is out to get your resource cards! Seeing it’s one of our favourites, we’re pumped that it’s available in a travel games edition.

Fun fact: This popular game won many awards and became the first German board game to sell outside of Europe. There are also many expansions, so the game will never become dull.

Scrabble To Go

Details: 2-4 players | unlimited minutes

Scrabble To Go is tailored for the adventurous soul – whether you’re a frequent flier, a railway rover, or simply enjoy day trips, this game is your perfect travel companion. It makes the hours fly by, when you’re flying.

With its portable case compact design, the letter tiles securely lock into the plastic grid game board, ensuring they stay put even during bumpy rides. Say goodbye to tile turbulence and hello to uninterrupted wordplay on the go.

Fun fact: Scrabble was originally called “Lexico” and later named “Criss Cross Words” before gaining its permanent moniker.

Exploding Kittens

Details: 2-5 players | 15 minutes

Prepare for a purr-fectly chaotic game night with Exploding Kittens – it’s like Russian Roulette, but with a hilarious feline twist.

Players take turns drawing cards, praying they don’t stumble upon the explosive kitty that spells doom. With cards to dodge disaster by peeking ahead, making opponents draw extra cards, or shuffling the deck, the tension mounts with every draw.

As the deck thins, the risk of encountering the explosive furball grows, leading to a climax of catastrophic kitty chaos. Perfect for the whole family, it’s a game as unpredictable as a cat on catnip and fits perfectly in a backpack.

Fun fact: Exploding Kittens is the #1 most-backed project in Kickstarter history and has sold over 11 million games.

Travel Cribbage

Details: 2-6 players | 30 minutes

A game where counting cards is encouraged, all wrapped up in a portable folding board with some tiny pegs. Your goal? Outscore your opponent by creating card combinations and racing around the board faster than a squirrel up a tree. And you definitely don’t want to get skunked!

With its mix of luck and strategy, cribbage is the perfect blend of brains and banter – just don’t get too confident when you’re ahead, or you might find yourself pegged back to square one.

Fun fact: Cribbage has been around since the 1600s. English Poet Sir John Suckling first popularized it.

Pass The Pigs

Details: 2-10 players | 30 minutes

Get ready for some oink-tastic fun with this portable beer and pretzels game! In Pass the Pigs , these aren’t your ordinary dice – they’re adorable mini pig with a dot on their right flanks, ready to roll into action.

The goal? Score 100 points before your opponents using these porcine pals as your dice. With each turn, you’ll toss the pigs and cross your fingers for a lucky landing in one of the scoring positions – from a “snouter” to a “leaning jowler,” there’s a whole barnyard of points waiting to be won (or squealed over).

Fun fact: This game was inspired while the creator was on vacation. See? travel pays off.

Travel Yahtzee

Like regular Yahtzee, Travel Yahtzee has an adventurous twist – perfect for road trips, flights, or even waiting for your next connection. Throw it in a small pouch or backpack for easy access.

Roll the dice, score big, and aim for that elusive Yahtzee while you navigate the ups and downs of travel. With its compact design and portable dice cup, you can roll for victory wherever your wanderlust takes you.

Shout “Yahtzee!” from the top of the Eiffel Tower or the depths of the Grand Canyon – the world is your game board!

Fun fact: A fun fact about Yahtzee is that it was originally called “Yacht” and was created by a wealthy Canadian couple, who developed the game during their yacht trips in the 1950s.

Details: 10+ players | 10+ minutes

This game takes us back to our youth! You fill in the blanks of a pre-written story with random words, and voila – instant comedy gold. Whether you’re concocting a zany adventure or crafting a ridiculous love letter, Mad Libs is guaranteed to bring the laughs.

This word game provides hours of fun, especially on a long airport layover.

Fun fact: The creators were brainstorming ideas for a new game when they realized they needed a quick and easy way to fill in the blanks in a story they were writing. They created a prototype by simply asking friends for random words to complete the story, and the hilarious results sparked the idea for Mad Libs.

Travel Boggle

Details: 6+ players | 10 minutes

Play the classic board game Boggle in miniature size. Another of our go-to travel games, Travel Boggle, tasks players to outplay their opponents in a set amount of time. Players write down as many words as they can find on the grid before time is up! Find the most words to win.

It’s typically meant for two or more players, but it’s also a perfect grab-and-go for one player to play a quick game alone to fend off a little boredom.

Fun fact: There are plenty of different versions of the travel boggle game, but this one is the world’s tiniest. And, cutest.

Trailblazers (Super Travel Edition)

Details: 2-8 players | 30 minutes

A travel game that’s all about flexing those brain muscles with a side of daring risk-taking! Trailblazers is the ultimate adventure for those who love pure spatial puzzling and thrive on push-your-luck route building.

It’s like being the Indiana Jones of the great outdoors, except with imaginary hiking boots or a trusty river paddle as your tools of choice.

With straightforward and highly approachable rules, this is one of our favourite travel games and is perfect for both on-the-go novice adventurers and seasoned trailblazers alike.

Fun fact: Inspired by real-life outdoor adventures and the thrill of exploring untamed wilderness.

We never leave home without a pack of cards, and if you see us delayed in an airport, this will be exactly what we’re doing! What’s toughest is finding good games for two players, but below you’ll find some of our faves.

It’s like hitting the links without the sunscreen and golf carts.

Your goal? To have the lowest score possible by swapping out high-value cards for lower ones, just like trying to improve your handicap.

But watch out for those pesky “sand traps” and “water hazards” – in this card game, they’re just sneaky ways to rack up points faster than you can say “fore”!

Play with a standard deck of cards .

It’s like solitaire on steroids, with a side of chaos and a dash of competitive spirit. This is a game that I have been playing with my family since I was wee – it works as a 2-player game but also with as many players as you can get. (More players = ULTIMATE chaos.)

Your goal? To get rid of your cards faster than your opponents while shouting “Nerts!” at the top of your lungs.

It’s a race against time, luck, and your own sanity as you frantically stack, slap, and swap cards to come out on top.

The goal of this card game is to be the first to discard all your cards by playing them onto shared piles in ascending or descending order.

It’s a frenzied frenzy of flinging cards and frantic finger-work as you race against your opponent to claim victory.

Tabletop Crib

It’s like the classic card game, but with a twist—instead of a traditional board, you play on any flat surface.

Your goal? To outsmart your opponents by scoring points with clever card combinations, all while keeping one eye on your hand and the other on the gravy boat.

It’s a card game of wit, luck, and culinary prowess, where every play is as satisfying as a perfectly timed forkful of pie.

It’s like rolling the dice in life, except in this game, you get to control the chaos (kind of).

Your goal? Roll winning combinations and rack up points faster than your opponents, all while crossing your fingers for that elusive lucky streak.

It’s a rollercoaster of highs and lows, twists and turns, with every roll bringing a new twist to the tale.

So grab those dice, roll the bones, and let the good times roll in the unpredictable world of Dice!

Play with a standard set of dice .

Games Accessories

If you’re anything like us, we’ve worn out original game boxes and the storage bags for the meeples, dice and other bits. Or we can never get the original game and pieces to fit back in the box the way it came. Thankfully, we found Bits Bins .

They have a big selection of game-piece storage solutions for cards, game pieces and other accessories. They have a large selection of high-quality choices in different designs and sizes, and they even have a small selection of bins made specifically for select games . Finally there’s an answer for us who want to keep our best travel games organized.

This the perfect game for Japanese aesthetic enthusiasts and those who wish to master the blade.

Done exploring Ancient Greece in Odyssey? Why not try exploring Ancient Egypt as well?

Discover the roots and the start of a great civilization, you’ll play the first assassin in the history of Assassin’s Creed . Play as Bayek, a very tough and incredibly chill guy who is on his way to get revenge.

You see, when you’re playing Origins, you’ll be able to explore the beautiful and very sandy cities of Egypt , from Giza up to Alexandria , as well as the Pyramids of Giza , and the beautiful Nile River .

Unless you hate sand because it’s coarse, rough, irritating, and can get anywhere, this game is definitely one helluva deal for such a magnificent description of what it’s like to be ruled by Cleopatra .

It’s fascinating to see camels running faster than horses in this game, much more than a group of angry hippos destroying an entire village of fishermen.

Age: Mature (17+)  

Release Date: November 2016

This game is just GTA V with hacking and cool gear. It’s no wonder why this game is on our list.

Watch Dogs 2 is a very lighthearted and fun game to explore. It’s one of those games that you can play in many different ways.

The game is visually pleasing, the overall environment doesn’t sound as dead as any other game, and the people are quite loud (and you can hear what they’re usually talking about, even on SMS).

The general atmosphere of the game looks exactly (or better) than what you’ll see on the streets of San Francisco .

The core gameplay of this game is great fun. It’s an instant buy.

Release Date: March 2018

It’s definitely something you’ll see yourself in the real world, especially if you’re a U.S. citizen.

Far Cry 5 fleshes out the game’s open-world aspect, which gives the player a lot to explore and the freedom to do whatever they want.

A sky that has air traffic, jet skis in the ocean, and a diverse array of people. This game has it all and more.

This is even better on P.C. because of the tons of mods and customizations it can offer, as opposed to playing it with a console. But, even in vanilla gameplay, this game offers so much.

Ah, yes. Todd Howard’s favorite baby. This game has been ported as many times as the bugs it has.

Skyrim is one of the best RPGs in the video gaming industry. Many people actually enjoy this game even if most of the time, the A.I. is dumbed down to a walking rock level.

This game offers so much content for you to last just about 50 hours and feel like it’s time to put it down.

Nevertheless, the beauty which this game offers is the rich and beautiful province of Skyrim , from the continent of Tamriel.

Skyrim offers a lot of places to explore, from rivers , caverns , dungeons , sanctuaries , castles , forts , snowy mountains , plains , and many more.

Monster Hunter series has always been one of the best games that features a wide variety of exploration options.

These include abundant and colossal trees from the Ancient Forest , the stinking paradise of death that is Rotten Vale , the beautiful and coral reef jungle that is Coral Highlands , and the coarse and cavernous place that is Wildspire Waste .

It’s the core gameplay and general atmosphere of the Monster Hunter games that make it a refreshing game to play and get lost in. With the expansion of Iceborne, you’ll be introduced to a lot more maps that are waiting to be explored.

The game features several types of environments for every kind of adventurer or hunter you want to be.

MHW is rich and filled with great detail and storytelling about the existence of monsters and how the people survive in the treacherous and dangerous world of apex predators.

Monster Hunter World is definitely one of the most satisfying games, simply because of its natural environment that goes hand-in-hand with the great gameplay it can offer players.

Release Date: May 2015

The Witcher 3 is hands down, one of the best RPGs of this decade. Few RPGs can match this one hell of a masterpiece by CD Projekt Red.

One of the best things about Witcher 3 is the exploration that makes the player travel The Continent , featuring the beautiful cities of the Novigrad region, The White Orchard , Velen , Skellige , the magical realms of Isle of Mists , and many more.

Honestly, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is incredible. The dialogue isn’t bland. The people aren’t necessarily emotionless and devoid of any kind of personality.

The cities are booming with vibrant and colorful designs and looks that make you feel like you’re living inside the game, and not just playing it.

What’s more, The Witcher 3 offers so much content that 100, 200, or even 400 hours isn’t enough to cover every bit.

There are times that you’ll waste a single day just riding your white horse while exploring the places of interest or just enjoying the view and scenery that it can offer.

Witcher 3 is a must, and people, regardless of whether they are a gamer or not, should at least experience this masterpiece.

Platform: Nintendo Switch

Nothing bad can be said about this game. It looks incredible, everyone can play it, and it’s a sight to see when trying to play the game that honed most of every gamer’s childhood.

This game is the definition of “growing up but not growing out” of the things people tend to overlook and enjoy.

Super Mario Odyssey is one of the best games that came out this decade, and honestly, it’s kind of satisfying and rewarding to see that most of our childhood’s favorite game is coming out fresh and new while retaining the elements of what we used to love about them.

It’s kind of exhilarating, it’s fun, it’s enjoyable, and it’s not stressful.

You’ll explore jungles , safaris , deserted places , underwater dungeons , ruins , and even a city replica that looks like Manhattan .

Everything that Super Mario Odyssey offers is something that you can’t simply refuse or just ignore by not playing it.

This game is one of its kind, and everyone is encouraged to at least try and see the real adventure that resides within this game.

These games are merely suggestions that will allow you to explore the world or the world in your mind by playing them.

With the amount of stress that’s already in this world, I think we should at least give our minds a sense of peace, and with these games, you can get lost easily.

Best Open-World Games For Urban Exploration

Elden ring fans discover new detail in raya lucaria after 3500 hours, lucky red dead redemption 2 player gets legendary fish without doing anything.

• Traveling is often overlooked in games, but these titles prioritize it as a core gameplay experience, providing fun and relaxing journeys.
• These games offer unique and immersive experiences through exploring, driving, and surviving in various environments.
• Whether it's hiking, rafting, driving, or traveling through space, these games focus on the joy of the journey rather than just reaching the destination.

Traveling is often a part of games, especially in open-worlds and RPGs , be that in its gameplay or setting. However, most of the time, traveling is done through a loading screen or cut scene, with the actual process of traveling being a means to an end, rather than a core part of the gameplay.

RELATED: Open-World Games With The Best Traversal Systems

However, there are plenty of games that use the process of traveling as their core gameplay loop, though outside of simulators like Euro Truck Simulator , there are often other gameplay mechanics supporting it. The following games focus on fun experiences while embarking on a journey.

10 A Short Hike

This beautifully realized indie game has a unique aesthetic and short but sweet playtime that's perfect for a quiet afternoon indoors. The game tasks players with making their way to the summit of a mountain through hiking, climbing, and flying.

Throughout A Short Hike , players will encounter charming NPCs, explore the mountain’s surrounding island, and gather collectibles in the form of "Golden Feathers" to reach higher points. The game's combination of a distinct art style and charming writing make it a relaxing, therapeutic journey.

This driving simulation game has players taking care of their car; changing tires, repairing, upgrading, and refueling to make their way across a procedurally generated world. There's not much conflict in Jalopy , but it's a quiet and meditative experience that can often be relaxing.

Throughout the game, players will travel from city to city scavenging for resources, making pit stops to repair and maintain their vehicles, and making purchases at vendors. Jalopy 's journey is broken up into segmented "routes," which players can pick and choose from to make up a larger route, allowing for some replay value and player agency.

8 The Long Drive

This post-apocalyptic road-trip simulator is an atmospheric driving experience in which players travel across randomly generated desolate environments in a customizable vehicle.

The Long Drive focuses on exploration, immersion, and driving, and although the game includes car maintenance and survival mechanics, they are minimal. Furthermore, although the game is a driving simulator, it does allow the player to leave the car and walk around. This focus on allowing the player to drive where they want, and the procedural generation of the world , makes each player's journey in The Long Drive feel unique.

7 Snow Runner

This simulation game has players driving through hazardous, extreme environments in over forty unique vehicles, either solo or with up to four players in the game's cooperative multiplayer .

Success in Snow Runner is highly reliant on being patient and taking things as slow as possible, as players are tasked with transporting cargo to and from various locations through unapologetically hostile terrain. Players will need to pick the right route and choose their tools wisely, all while avoiding pushing their luck, to complete the game's variety of challenging missions.

6 The Flame In The Flood

This rogue-like game has players journeying down a rapid river on a makeshift raft with their dog companion in a post-apocalyptic environment. The game has a beautifully distinct aesthetic, as well as ambient sound design and music that help to immerse the player.

RELATED: Easy Survival Games

The Flame In The Flood 's gameplay is primarily focused on survival elements and resource/inventory management as players make their way downriver, choosing when and where to stop and explore the various locations. Despite the minimalistic gameplay, The Flame In The Flood's atmosphere and immersive environments help to make the journey memorable.

5 Death Road To Canada

It's safe to say that The Oregon Trail would be perfect for this topic, but Death Road To Canada is a more accessible, modernized version of its classic gameplay loop. Death Road To Canada tasks players with getting a group of survivors to Canada in the midst of a zombie apocalypse .

In the game, players will manage their group both on the road and while exploring locations packed with flesh-eating undead. The game can be fairly lethal, and while it does feature a lot of arcade-style combat, Death Road To Canada links the combat encounters together with random events and traveling mechanics to make the journey whole.

This visually stunning, short but sweet game has players guiding a nameless character across a beautifully realized desert environment to reach the top of a shining mountain.

Journey 's sound design and musical score are some of the best in games and help to add emotion and immersion to the title's wonderful atmosphere. The gameplay in Journey is minimal, focusing on the titular journey and the game's atmosphere over any form of challenge, but the experience is one worth having. The game also has a unique multiplayer system, though due to the game being rather old, players are far from guaranteed to experience it.

Sable is a meditative, exploration-focused experience with light puzzle elements that focus on movement. The game tasks the player with traveling across detailed, breathtaking environments to discover new locations and progress.

RELATED: Open-World Games With The Most Rewarding Exploration

The game's original soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast combined with the game's unique pastel aesthetic provides the perfect melancholic atmosphere while exploring the ruined, desolate open world. Sable does have a narrative, NPCs, and dialogue to help paint the game's backdrop, but its focus on movement and array of landmarks to explore make it a title focused almost entirely on traveling from one location to the next, and figuring out how to get there.

2 Outer Wilds

This critically acclaimed space exploration game is a truly unique, atmospheric, and immersive experience with a beautiful soundtrack and charming dialogue, as well as a compelling mystery narrative that helps push players to travel to and explore the game's various planets.

Travel in Outer Wilds is simple and intuitive but manages to be immersive nonetheless. Players pilot a small spaceship, lifting off and landing in real-time, and use it to traverse the space between the Outer Wilds ' distinct planets. While on a planet's surface, players explore on foot using a variety of gadgets.

1 Death Stranding

Putting players in the shoes of a glorified postman, Death Stranding tasks players with carrying heaps of cargo to and from various settlements in a post-apocalyptic America populated with horrific creatures.

The game's beautiful landscapes, immersive atmosphere, and melancholic soundtrack set the tone for protagonist Sam Porter's many arduous journeys. Players can use various tools and vehicles to help traverse the terrain, and while the gameplay is repetitive, it can often be therapeutic. Furthermore, the game's narrative - propelled by dramatic performances and competent writing - helps to link the game's various journeys together.

The 15 best city building games to play today

From Frostpunk to Aven Colony, here's our list of the best city building games that will have you reaching for the skies

The best city building games give you the ultimate experience in urban planning. Whether you're waiting patiently for some new games in the genre or just want to expand your building sim repertoire, all the titles on this page offer rich, in-depth management systems that test your strategy and tactics. From medieval metropolises to wholesome family communities, there's something everyone can tap into in the sandbox world of building simulators.

Below, we've put together a list of the best city building games you can play right now, no matter your platform of choice. A few of these even cross over with our picks of the best strategy games , giving you a whole other area to get invested in as you watch your creations thrive under challenging conditions, but that's another list for another time.

Recent updates

Our collection of the 15 best city-building games was updated on July 12, 2024. We've made sure that all the information in this list is up to date and offers tons of exciting details.

15. Pocket City

Developer: Codebrew Games Platforms: iOS, Android, PC

If you're after a city-building fix and are hunting for the best iPhone games , Pocket City is one of the best city builders on iOS and Android. It successfully makes the genre feel right at home on touch screens. Wrapped up in a delightful art style, you can design and build your very own city, from a little town to a busy metropolis, with the swipe of your finger. 

The little city builder is formed of two main modes: one lets you unlock buildings gradually by completing quests and objectives, which adds a nice rewarding sense of progression to the development of your city, or you can play in a sandbox mode where all the buildings are open to you, so you can just spend your time crafting the perfect city and watch it flourish. This city-builder is impressively detailed for a mobile title and won’t push any in-app purchases on you, so you can build the little city of your dreams without any limitations. 

14. Aven Colony

Developer: Mothership Entertainment Platform(s): Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 , PS5, PC

Home is where you make it, and it just so happens that home for you is now an alien world. Aven Colony is another city builder set in space that sees you try to colonize an alien planet with the aim of successfully settling in and expanding. But, of course, not all planets are like Earth. The alien world you’ve found yourself in doesn’t have much oxygen and wild electrical storms fill the skies while toxic gas erupts from vents in the planet’s surface.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more

Doesn’t sound too homely, does it? Therein lies the challenge, though. The world has an array of biomes dotted around the surface for you to explore and settle in, and some are more habitable than others. You start off as the governor of the colony, and as you manage the welfare and development of your settlement, you can eventually rise up in the ranks. Topped off with lots of secrets to uncover and plenty of room to explore the strange new world, there’s plenty to do and it's easy to see why Aven Colony is considered among some of the best space games of all time. 

13. The Colonists

Developer : Codebyte Platform(s): Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 , PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch

If you’re after a relaxing experience that also has a cute factor, The Colonists is a pleasantly paced city-builder with adorable little robot inhabitants. As the one in charge, you control a group of robots who have escaped from Earth in search of a new home out in the galaxy. Your little Wall-E like robot friends all have the same sole dream - to be human. Since they’re robots that’s not exactly possible, but you can create a colony that resembles a human settlement and nurture them as if they were actually people. Aww. 

Drawing inspiration from the Settlers and Anno series, The Colonists see you harvest resources, set up farms, research new technologies, advance through different ages, and explore the mysterious lands you settled on. Building up your colony still requires some strategy, with roads, transport systems and different infrastructures to place and create, but its gentle pace and lack of threat make for a rewarding, chilled-out time-stealer.  

12. Tropico 6

Developer: Limbic Entertainment Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 , PS5 PC, Nintendo Switch

Ever wanted to build and rule your very own island paradise? El Presidente returns once again, and it’s your job to fill their shoes as the tyrannical dictator or the peaceful ruler you were always born to be. Shifting its focus onto the political side of affairs, Tropico 6 introduces a new research tree that enhances your political strategies so you can be the best dictator the tropical world has ever seen.

Constructing transport systems and bridges to connect your islands is a must if you want to build up your burgeoning empire. And a big part of being a good leader is giving grandiose speeches to your citizens and giving them lots of empty promises to keep them in the palm of your hand, right? Well, maybe you’re not a good leader, but you can give a good election speech and that’s got to count for something. Oh, and don’t forget you can customize your very own palace - it’s one of the perks of the job, after all.  

11. Factory Town

Developer : Erik Asmussen Platforms: PC

After being in early access before the launch in 2021, this little indie number sees you transform a colourful 3D terrain into a well-oiled factory town, decked out with conveyor belts and chutes to process all the resources the landscapes have to offer you. You start out with a few workers and a single building, but after collecting minerals and crops around the procedurally generated area, you can work to transform your little lone building into a money-making hub of activity. 

Researching will unlock all kinds of machinery to take some of the work out of processing resources and help your production chains flourish. Oh, and there’s also magic. You can also unlock magic-powered machines to make it all run like clockwork.  The delightful city-building sim is an interesting take on the genre that'll whittle your hours away without you even realising it. Honestly, it's one of the most surprising but best indie games we've played in a while. 

10. Townscaper

Developer : Oskar Stålberg Platform(s): Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android 

Townscaper, from developer Oskar Stålberg, is a delightfully vibrant city builder that really lets your creativity flourish. As a sandbox-style game in the genre, you have the freedom to build up your own little towns, cities, hamlets, and more. In fact, you can even make your very own city up high in the sky if you want to. Built block by block with different colors to choose from, it's incredibly satisfying to see the blocks form into buildings and expand into your very own miniature city or construction.  

In Townscaper, it really is all about the building, so if you're looking to scratch that particular itch, you can't go wrong with this wonderful indie number. Seriously, we end up asking everyone if they have played Townscaper because it is just that good. With plenty of tools to create vast structures or quaint little towns with colorful houses, bridges, harbors, and more,  you can marvel at your own creations and fall into the relaxing flow of bringing your designs to life. 

9. The Wandering Village

Developer: Stray Fawn Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One

Another Early Access title that has been on most city building fans' radar since 2022, The Wandering Village, is putting its own spin on the genre by asking you to create your town on the back of a massive, six-legged beast called Onbu. However, before you get excited about the creature element here, this is still a relaxing management game above all else.

As Onbu walks along you'll have to feed it, guide it, and also recognize when it needs a rest, all while building your own empire on top of it. The city building itself isn't going to reinvent the wheel, but it's the combination of how the building works with Onbu where this game really shines. 

8. Dorfromantik

Developer : Toukana Interactive Platform(s) : PC, Nintendo Switch

Dorfromantik is part city-builder, part puzzle game, and 100% chill vibes. It's one of the best relaxing games , as you get a stack of hexagonal tiles, each of which has elements of civilization on it. Homes, forests, fields, waterways, and train tracks are your staples at first, but later, you'll unlock deer, ruins, and other additional tiles to add visual interest to your creations. 

There's a matching puzzle to how you build, with tasks popping up that ask you to connect certain amounts of any element together, like 300+ trees in a single forest or exactly 25 fields, so there's a wonderful blend of puzzling and pure aesthetics. It's never taxing, but it's easy to get drawn into its beautifully peaceful world and lose an hour or two to trying to best your top score. 

7. Before We Leave

Developer : Balancing Monkey Games Platform(s) : PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One

Before We Leave is a little bit like Anno 1800 lite. It's all about establishing colonies on islands and then working to expand your empire to new areas and, eventually, new planets, too. 

Each island has unique properties, like weather and soil quality, so your priorities are always establishing good trade routes between them all to ensure every Peep in your empire has access to the things they need to be happy and healthy. It's non-violent, too, so it's just a case of enjoying watching your world grow.

6. Surviving Mars

Developer: Haemimont Games Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, Mac

Mars has always been the go-to spot when it comes to imaging where the next homeworld would be when, god forbid, Earth meets with its untimely demise. But the hostile world isn’t exactly human-friendly. With no oxygen, cold temperatures, and barren landscapes, settling down there and calling it home presents its own unique challenges. And that’s exactly what you have to try and achieve in Surviving Mars . Taking up residence on the dusty red planet, you work to set up a sustainable colony, and - in case the name wasn’t a dead giveaway - work to ensure it survives. 

By exploring the unknown terrains of the alien planet and investing in research, you can improve your chances of surviving. Every colonist also has a unique personality with their own strengths and weaknesses, which can add to your problems or improve them. The retro-futuristic vibes of the domes you build make Mars look more stylish than it’s ever been before, and with some careful planning, you can create a prospering colony that will continue to spread across the alien world. 

5. Timberborn

Developer : Mechanistry Platform(s) : PC

What if there was a city builder where you play as beavers? If that sounds amazing, you need to check out Timberborn. With the humans long gone, it's the beavers' time to shine and see if they can carve out a better existence for themselves. With droughts ever present in the valley, water conservation is a constant challenge, so you've got to plan ahead to ensure you can continue to provide for your population in times of scarcity. 

There's farming to be done, vertical cities to be built, and technology to advance. It's all thematically adorable, and there are even two different factions to play - the nature-friendly Folktails or the industrious Iron Teeth. Each one has its unique style, buildings, and even gameplay tweaks, so there's a lot of game to enjoy here - even if it's still in Early Access. 

4. Frostpunk

Developer: 11 Bit Studios Platform(s): Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC

You’re the ruler of the last city on Earth in a post-apocalyptic world stuck in an everlasting winter. Yeah, no pressure. Frostpunk mixes up the genre by bringing in a survival element that will push your management skills to the limit. With the threat of extinction at your door, every decision you make could mean life or death for the citizens of your city. The snowy landscapes present you with plenty of challenges, but it also means heating will be your number one priority. 

Maintaining and managing the temperature is vital, but that’s just one of the many things you’ll have to manage to keep everyone alive. At the heart of 11-bit studios' unrelenting survival city-builder lies a campaign peppered with choice. You can decide how to govern your people by choosing different paths, setting laws, and managing the routines of their day-to-day lives. It’s all left up to you. Frostpunk is a must-play, especially as we wait for Frostpunk 2 to release.

3. Farthest Frontier

Developer : Crate Entertainment Platform(s) : PC

Farthest Frontier is excellent at capturing what it could have been like to be a pioneer, even though it's currently in Early Access. It's a Medieval city builder that has the potential to surprise you. It's really tethered to history, which is really interesting, and makes everything you do have a pang of authenticity about it. Food, for example, spoils, so you've got to decide what to harvest - and, more importantly, when. 

Its farming systems are also really, really detailed, so prepare yourself to start thinking like a Medieval person fast. It's a lot to manage, but the overall effect is seriously cool, particularly when it starts impacting the look and feel of your settlement. 

2. Anno 1800

Developer: Blue Byte Platforms : PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

It’s the dawn of a pivotal new era, and you’re about to build a city that will thrive or fall as technology changes and advances. Anno 1800 plants you at the start of the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 19th century and demands that you craft and maintain a city built on the innovation of your research and technological advancement. 

Building trade routes and going out on expeditions to further your research and uncover useful resources will help your newly established metropolis prosper. But as your city grows, you’ll have to deal with more problems, like competing rulers, civil strife, and political warfare, to name a few. Whether you’re diplomatic or a bit of a tyrant, you can experiment with different playstyles as you seek your fame and fortune in the industrious age. 

1. Cities: Skylines

Developer: Colossal Order Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC

Calling all aspiring mayors - Cities: Skylines wants you to build the next best city. Yes, as the new mayor in town, you construct the city from the ground up, managing every aspect of its realistic economy, to its roadworks and healthcare. As fun as it is challenging, Skylines has so much depth and detail, you’ll find that mastering everything is a bit of a juggling act, but once you do you’ll truly feel like a management expert. 

There’s nothing quite like transforming empty green fields of land into a flourishing megalopolis that every virtual citizen wants to call home. Facing the elements with natural disasters, pollution, traffic accidents, and anything else you can imagine, you’ll be tested in many different ways. A whole line-up of DLCs is also on offer to take your city building escapades to new heights by introducing other transit systems, alternative designs and looks, new weather conditions, and so much more.

Party here and watch Utah's pitch to bring the Olympics back to Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY — Since we all can't travel to Paris to watch Salt Lake City's final pitch to bring the Winter Olympics back to the Wasatch Front, the party is coming to Utah.

A massive watch party, or because of the time difference... sleepover... is being held to allow Utahns to come together as one and watch the city's presentation and ensuing IOC vote that will hopefully end with the Winter Olympics returning to Salt Lake City for the first time since 2002.

Starting at 2:30 a.m. MST, the overnight party is set for Washington Square in front of the Salt Lake City and County Building downtown. People can gather to watch the presentation on big screens throughout the park, as well as hear from local athletes and leaders.

Food trucks will also be on hand for late night snacks or early breakfasts, as well as a drone show once the expected good news arrives.

"We are planning to channel some extra state pride and we're going to party like it's 2002 right here in Washington Square," exclaimed Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall when the plans were announced.

SLC SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

• 2:30 a.m. - Start time of SLC-UT 2034 presentation
• 3:35 a.m. - Election with announcement of 2034 Winter Olympics host
• 5:00 a.m. - Drone Show
• 5:30 a.m. - Celebratory exchange between Paris and Salt Lake City

The 2002 Olympics cauldron, which currently sits outside Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus, will also be lit at 4 a.m. to officially welcome the Games back to Salt Lake City. The flame will also be seen between 6-11 p.m. Wednesday.

For those who are late risers, an afternoon party is scheduled to take place at Utah Olympic Park in Park City, one of the epicenters of activity during the 2034 Winter Olympics.

Starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday, the party will feature live music, food vendors, children's activities, face painting, and Olympian and Paralympian meet and greets. The Flying Ace All-Stars will also put on a Freestyle Show at 6:30 p.m.

While all are welcome at the Park City party, it is a car-free event with free transportation via shuttle service from Woodward, the Canyons Cabriolet Lot and Richardson Flat, as well as on-site bike valet.

PARK CITY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

• 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. - Festival in the Olympic Plaza at the Utah Olympic Park
• 6:15 - 6:30 p.m. - Presentation & Speakers
• 6:30 – 7:00 p.m. - Flying Ace All-Stars Freestyle Show
• 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. - Live Music by Freedog in the Olympic Plaza

Why the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics are already an expensive nightmare for many locals and tourists

By Elaine Cobbe

Updated on: July 23, 2024 / 9:25 AM EDT / CBS News

Paris — The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics open this week, and athletes from around the world have been arriving to prepare for the competition. France, however, has been preparing for several years, and not everyone in Paris is pleased with the disruption those preparations have brought.

Some Parisians have complained for months on social media about the state of the French capital, with some warning tourists to stay away.

"If you're planning on coming to Paris for the Olympic Games... do not come! Do not come... The city of Paris is making it hell on earth," one resident warned in an  online rant .

City officials insist the Summer Games will be a huge success, but Parisians have fled from their city in droves, and tourism, almost counterintuitively, is down.

Construction linked to the Olympics has made moving around Paris much harder and more expensive. Prices to ride the Paris Metro system have doubled, students have been kicked off campuses to make way for Olympic staff and rents have soared.

"People that were thinking about coming to Paris for holidays, most of them decided not to come because, number one, the city is very congested, number two, the prices are really high," Gail Boisclair, who runs the Perfectly Paris property rental company, told CBS News. "The tourists just simply don't want to deal with it."

She said American visitors looking for a summer European vacation have largely opted to visit Spain, Britain and Ireland this year instead, and that includes some regular visitors to the City of Light.

"I have a lot of returning guests, and if they didn't have to be here for work, they just said 'forget 2024, we're waiting 'til next year to come.'"

Many tourists chose to visit Paris before the Olympics, but even they have found the city unwelcoming.

First-time visitors Ian and Belinda Caulfield from Wales were surprised at how much construction there was, and how difficult it was to get around.

"I know it's within a certain amount of the city, but if you just want to walk down the Seine, there's a lot of obstructions," said Ian.

Belinda said the couple found they were having to walk more than they expected because of diversions around Olympic construction sites.

Eva and Agnes from Norway also found it difficult to get where they wanted to go.

"We have traveled across the Seine over here, and it was closed, so we had to go all around a lot of buildings to get where we wanted," said Eva.

They didn't cancel any of their plans, but Eva said in hindsight, "it would have been better to come here next year, not this year."

High prices for accommodation are also keeping tourists away. Hotels raised their prices more than a year ago, some asking for double the usual rates — or even higher for rooms that overlook the Seine and the area where the Opening Ceremony will take place on July 26.

Many Parisians also thought it would be a good time to cash in on expected high visitor numbers by renting out their homes. But visitor numbers are down by as much as 30%, according to some studies.

"People were thinking, oh, four times as much, five times as much, who knows," said Boisclair. Last year, she advised owners of the rental apartments she manages to raise their rates by 30% for the Games, but no more than that.

Those who followed her advice found guests immediately, she said. Others wanted to wait to try to cash in for more.

"We can retire on the income that we'll earn for two and a half weeks during the Olympics," was their thinking, she said. But that gamble has not paid off.

Tens of thousands of rental apartments and hotel rooms still lie empty as the market was flooded with offers. A cursory glance at popular hotel and apartment reservation sites shows prices being slashed daily — but the offers still massively outstrip demand.

Others in Paris have found themselves homeless because of the Olympics. More than 3,000 student rooms in the capital's university campuses were commandeered for all the police and firefighters brought in for the Games.

While most students are off for the summer, several thousand were planning on staying in their rooms while on work placements in the capital or to continue with research projects. Several told the Le Parisien newspaper it was stressful having to move out and find somewhere else to live at a time when rents have soared.

Many who work in the tourism industry also got a nasty surprise this year. Some Parisian cafes and restaurants inside the restricted Olympic zones are considering closing their doors during the Games because it will be so difficult for people to get to them.

Some taxi drivers have said they'll work the first few days of the Games at the end of July, and then decide if it's worth staying in the city or, if things are quiet, just going on vacation for August.

Tour guide Lily Heise usually makes the majority of her annual income during the summer — but not this year. 

"I was very excited about Paris hosting the Olympics and had thought it would lead to increased bookings," she told CBS News. "But over the last two months, bookings have been down around 50%. June and July are usually among the busiest months of the year for the tourism sector in Paris. The loss of income is substantial and it's difficult to know if tourists will be back in the autumn, once the Games are over."

The Paris Games are expected to cost $12 billion. That's cheap for an Olympic Games - but many in Paris feel they've paid a higher price themselves in other ways.

'We are ready', Macron says as France gears up for Paris Olympics amid tight security

President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that France was ready to host the Paris Olympics as he visited the Athletes' Village four days before the Games begin. The opening ceremony on the River Seine will signal the official start of the Paris Games on Friday, July 26.

Issued on: 21/07/2024 - 14:57 Modified: 22/07/2024 - 13:40

"We are ready and we will be ready throughout the Games," Macron said.

"We have been working on these Games for years now and we are at the start of a decisive week which on Friday will see the opening ceremony and then the Olympiad which will be held in Paris , 100 years since the last one."

He added: "This is the fruit of an immense amount of work which has profoundly changed the country, in particular the area" of Seine-Saint-Denis, where the Athletes' Village is situated.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach also visited the Village to the north of the French capital, where thousands of athletes and officials are arriving, with up to 14,500 expected there at the peak of the Games.

Comprising 40 different low-rise housing blocks, the complex has been built by employing innovative construction techniques using low-carbon concrete, water recycling and reclaimed building materials.

It was also intended to be free of air-conditioning with a natural cooling system, but some Olympic delegations are unconvinced and have ordered around 2,500 portable cooling units for their athletes.

Seine-Saint-Denis, where the main athletics stadium for the Olympics is also situated, is the poorest area in France and is hoping to reap benefits from the sports extravaganza.

Macron promised the area would not be forgotten after the Olympics.

"I will come back after the Games to see the legacy with you and to see how life has changed," he said.

Israelis 'welcome'

Meanwhile, France's foreign minister said Israeli athletes were welcome at the Paris Games after a hard-left member of the French parliament sparked outrage by urging them to stay away because of the conflict in Gaza.

"The Israeli delegation is welcome in France," Stephane Sejourne said in Brussels ahead of talks with his Israeli counterpart, adding that the call by France Unbowed (LFI) lawmaker Thomas Portes for the country's exclusion had been "irresponsible and dangerous".

"We will ensure the security of the delegation," Sejourne added.

Portes drew an angry response from French Jewish groups and both political opponents and allies.

Yonathan Arfi, head of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (Crif), said the comments were "putting a target on the backs of Israeli athletes".

Arfi said Israeli athletes were "already the most in danger at the Olympic Games ", recalling the 11 "murdered by Palestinian terrorists" at the 1972 Munich Games.

Meanwhile, French security forces were continuing preparations for the unprecedented opening ceremony on Friday, the first time a Summer Olympics has opened outside the main stadium.

Between 6,000 and 7,000 athletes are to sail down the river on 85 barges and boats, with a backdrop of world-famous monuments including Notre-Dame cathedral, currently being renovated after a devastating fire in 2019.

The athletes will disembark for the culmination of a ceremony at the Trocadero opposite the Eiffel Tower that organisers promise will be spectacular.

Up to 300,000 ticketed spectators will watch from stands and on the river banks and another 200,000 are expected to watch from the overlooking apartments.

Turning to the sport , Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar is setting his sights on Olympic gold in the road race after winning the Tour de France for the third time on Sunday.

"We are living in the golden age of cycling ," Pogacar said after completing a commanding victory in Nice, where the finish was moved to because of the Olympic preparations in Paris.

PARIS (AP) — Welcome aboard, hope you are standing comfortably. For the horses on the U.S. eventing team, the journey to France for the Paris Olympics was — quite literally — a four-legged journey.

Their trek began on a farm in Pennsylvania. They were driven to JFK airport last Wednesday to board an eight-hour flight to Luxembourg. The following afternoon the horses went by lorry to their pre-Olympic base camp in Vittel, located about four hours outside of Paris.

Having rested, shaken off jet lag and done some gentle trotting, they are scheduled to reach the Palace of Versailles for their Olympic check-in on Wednesday. The eventing competition gets underway Saturday with team and individual dressage in the regal gardens of Versailles, once the residence of French royalty where Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette held lavish banquets.

Susan Johns, the team veterinarian, said the horses actually prefer flying.

“To be honest it’s much easier than being in a lorry, there’s much more stability than being driven. Padding, bedding, everything possible was provided in case the take off and landing was abrupt,” Johns explained to The Associated Press during a phone interview. “They don’t really sleep on the flight, they’re standing upright. But they’re good at resting, they have hay nets and are mostly eating.”

Here’s a closer look at how the horses journeyed to France.

Horses need passports

Like humans, horses have passport controls to check that they are the right horse. Paperwork, such as vaccines and blood tests, is also checked for each horse.

The quirky-sounding, horse passenger list for the early hours flight to Luxembourg read as follows: Fedarman B; HSH Blake; Off The Record; Cooley Nutcracker; Diabolo; Commando 3, and QC Diamantaire.

The riders themselves, four-time Olympian Boyd Martin , first-time Olympian Caroline Pamukcu , Will Coleman , traveling reserve Liz Halliday , and Sydney Elliott all arrived separately to Paris.

Horses’ in-flight meals

Once at JFK the horses — four of which will be reserves at the Paris Games — were put onto palates and lifted onto the Boeing 747 plane by forklift.

The horses traveled two a stall with a dividing wall between them, somewhat like an arm rest for horses. Other equipment, including saddles and helmets, were loaded on, along with giant nets of hay and big jugs of water.

The human passengers accompanying them were Johns and senior grooms Hailey Burlock and Stephanie Simpson.

As boarding time approached, one horse was massaged on its lower neck by a groom. Then the horses trotted calmly into their stalls. A thunderstorm delayed the flight by more than two hours, but otherwise the process went smoothly.

“We had a very seasoned group of travelers. The majority of the horses have flown multiple times, they’re kind of pros at it,” Johns said. “I carry a bag in case there’s one (horse) who gets a wound or has a colic episode. But we had no need for it on this fight.”

Horse carryons and tray tables

Johns and the grooms were on the top deck of the 747, and rotated visits to check on the horses on the deck below.

“The captain allowed us two at a time to go down, every hour,” she said. “Horses are located at the very back. The front is mainly cargo.”

Each horse had their own hay net, hung up in their stall.

“Like when have your tray table which comes down, they have their hay net,” the team’s chief of mission Hallye Griffin told the AP. “Each horse has their own tack bag, similar to a carryon bag.”

Hydration is crucial on the flight.

Horses drink around 5 gallons (19 litres) of water from their regularly filled buckets, with apple slices sometimes added to encourage them to drink regularly.

Horses and jet lag

Once the horses landed in Luxembourg, they were checked through customs and driven to Vittel. Inside the lorry transporting them, they were separated by a small divider wall.

Other grooms were already in Vittel and helped unload the horses when they arrived. Some horses like to roll around to get any itches off, while others prefer to stretch their Olympic limbs and are hand-walked by grooms.

Horses also experience jet lag. Their bodies must adjust to sleep and changes to their feeding schedule, so the first couple of days are all about easing them back into a rhythm.

Then the serious business starts.

When they arrive in Versailles on Wednesday, a 20-feet container with mucking out equipment will be ready and one groom will be assigned to each horse on site.

Horses will be tested twice daily for their temperature in Versailles, to make sure there’s no fever that could be spread. Horse passports are verified and vaccination dates checked.

Throughout their Olympic journey, the horses were given treats to keep them in a contented mood — things like carrots, peppermint, or special horse cookies.

The people traveling with the horses enjoyed a few perks, too.

No long queues, stuffy airports or hanging around sweaty departure lounges in summer.

“It’s awesome, it’s actually the preferred way to travel. I don’t have to go to real airports and sit next to real people,” said Simpson, who is the groom for Martin’s two horses and is working at her second Olympics.

“It’s a lot of work, but it’s the ideal job,” Simpson added. “We work outside and get to be surrounded by horses.”
