While your character and many of the characters in the game are fictional, they are based on the experiences of real people. (You will also encounter some actual historical figures and witness historical events in the game!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>There are no right or wrong answers. <\/strong>The goal of <em>Mission US <\/em>is to understand history, not to win. In each mission, you\u2019ll meet a range of people with very different viewpoints, explore historical settings, and witness key past events &#8212; and will have to make difficult decisions. All of the decisions represent real alternatives that people might have encountered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You decide your character\u2019s fate. <\/strong>Like other choose-your-own-adventure stories, the fate of your character is based on your choices in the game. Some of the choices you make will unlock different badges, which will also impact the outcome of your character\u2019s story in the game epilogue. You can replay the game and make different choices to see how your character\u2019s story might have turned out differently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You will encounter difficult and challenging <\/strong><strong>moments in US history. <\/strong><em>Mission US <\/em>covers some troubling topics, including injustice and war, many of which remain challenges today. We think learning about such historical moments is essential for understanding both the past and present. We encourage you to reach out to a parent, teacher, or other adult you trust if you have any questions about the content you encounter in the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>There is never just one story. <\/strong>Like any work of history, <em>Mission US <\/em>games are interpretations of what happened in the past based on careful research. Since they can\u2019t capture the whole story, we encourage you to learn more about this history by checking out the additional resources for each mission.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n \n                      <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div><\/li><li class=\"sidebar-nav-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mission-us.org\/about\/creating-mission-us\/about-the-missions\/#forcrownorcolony\" class=\"link-to-all\"><\/a><h4 class=\"item-title\">About This Mission<\/h4>Learn more about the creation of and team behind <i>For Crown or Colony?<\/i><\/li><li class=\"sidebar-nav-item\"><a href=\"\/teach\/for-crown-or-colony\/teach-this-mission\/curriculum-overview\/\" class=\"link-to-all\"><\/a><h4 class=\"item-title\">Teacher's Guide to Using this Mission<\/h4>Overview\/background materials, activities, and more.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"widget-list-downloads mt-2\"><p class=\"mt-2\">Play this mission offline:<\/p><ul class=\"list-unstyled\"><li><a href=\"#modal-downloads-0-mobile-sidebar\" class=\"\" data-toggle=\"modal\">Download for Chromebook<\/a><div class=\"modal fade modal-downloads-links\" id=\"modal-downloads-0-mobile-sidebar\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-downloads\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"display: none;\">\n                  <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg\" role=\"document\">\n                    <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                      <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                        <h4 class=\"title-xs-sans\">: <\/h4>\n                        <h3 class=\"title-md-serif\"><\/h3>\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n                          <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                      <\/div>\n                      <div class=\"modal-body\">\n                        <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-between mb-3\">\n                          <h5 class=\"title-sm-sans text-normal\">Download for Chromebook<\/h5>\n                          <div class=\"btn-container\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.WNET.ForCrownOrColony\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary\">Download Chromebook app<\/a>\n                          <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"default-content\">\n                           \n                        <\/div>\n                      <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div><\/li><li><a href=\"#modal-downloads-1-mobile-sidebar\" class=\"\" data-toggle=\"modal\">Download for Mac<\/a><div class=\"modal fade modal-downloads-links\" id=\"modal-downloads-1-mobile-sidebar\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-downloads\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"display: none;\">\n                  <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg\" role=\"document\">\n                    <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                      <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                        <h4 class=\"title-xs-sans\">: <\/h4>\n                        <h3 class=\"title-md-serif\"><\/h3>\n                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n                          <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-close\"><\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                      <\/div>\n                      <div class=\"modal-body\">\n                        <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-between mb-3\">\n                          <h5 class=\"title-sm-sans text-normal\">Download for Mac<\/h5>\n                          <div class=\"btn-container\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/games.mission-us.org\/downloads\/mission01_mac_v1.zip\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-outline-primary\">Download<\/a>\n                          <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"default-content\">\n                          <h3><span class=\"title\"><strong>Instructions for Installation and Use of the Downloadable Version<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Download the game to your computer.<\/strong> Be sure to pay attention to where the file is being copied on your computer; different operating systems have different defaults.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Install the game.<\/strong> Locate the downloaded file named \u201cmission01_pc_v1.zip\u201d or \u201cmission01_mac_v1.zip\u201d on your computer and double-click to extract the game files.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On a Mac this will place a copy of the game in the same place as the downloaded file.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This downloadable version\u00a0 is a standalone Unity application, so it does NOT require the Unity player or use a browser.
