THE SUFFRAGE TRAIL
2D STORY GAME · 15–20 MIN

Five travelers, five eras, one ballot. A choice-driven trail game in the classic 8-bit style: play a New Jersey widow in 1797, Susan B. Anthony in 1872, a Silent Sentinel, a Nashville lobbyist in the rose war — and a Georgia teacher the amendment left behind.

THE SUFFRAGE TRAIL 3D
3D EXPLORATION · 10–15 MIN

A first-person walk through a memorial park at dusk. Follow the golden path to seven monuments — from the first voters to the unfinished obelisk — collect a yellow rose at each, then cast your ballot at the trail’s end.

ONE STORY, TWO GAMES

Play the 2D game first for the people and the stakes — it carries the full narrative, including who ratification left behind. Then walk the 3D trail to see the whole timeline laid out as a landscape, ending at the deliberately unfinished monument.

Both games draw from the same source: “The 19th Amendment, Explained,” Kendall Verhovek, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law (2025). Desktop editions add keyboard and mouse-capture controls; mobile editions are tuned for touch. Keep all five files in the same folder so the buttons above work.
