Adventures are interactive stories that usually introduce new game features and are gradually completed over the course of a couple weeks.

History

To be completed.

Mechanics

Adventures are usually comprised of tasks that need to be completed before the next task can be started. Additionally, after completing a task, there is usually a delay on when the next task can be started. Once an Adventure is fully completed, it cannot be restarted or played through again.

Almost all of the items you find and use during the Adventures and stored in the Unusually Large Backpack.

Main Adventures

Currently, four main Adventures have been released. It is unknown if there are currently plans in the works to release more.

Intro Adventures

The Intro Adventures take place in the City, and are comprised of multiple tasks designed to introduce new players to the game.

Your life as a hobo begins when the Old Man takes your Cardboard Box from you and has you see Duncan to complete various tasks for him in order to get it back.

All new players are automatically thrust into the Intro Adventures. All other players have the option to start it or to permanently hide the option to start it.

Note: Facebook version does NOT contain the Intro Adventure set.

Second City Adventures

The Second City Adventures take place in Second City, and are comprised of 20 "days".

Canbodia Adventures

The Canbodia Adventures take place in Canbodia, and are comprised of 18 "missions".

The story is a rough parody of "Apocalypse Now".

This Adventure begins with the arrival of some punks in the City. Eat a Wonka Bar, check the wrapper at the Nursing Home for some coordinates, and explore the City to locate the place they are coming from.

Each after a mission is completed, a new alcoholic beverage and a new stop on the Canbodian River are unlocked.

Mini Adventures

Mini Adventures are shorter interactive stories that still usually introduce a new game feature, but have a storyline separate from that on the Main Adventures' and can usually be completed within a day.
