Carroll Museums partnered
with SierrAspen and Hibiscus Technology Solutions to create the mobile game. Major
financial support was provided by the American Express Foundation.
“The
game will be a fun and dynamic way to share the amazing history of Baltimore’s Shot Tower,” said
Paula Hankins, Executive Director of Carroll Museums. “We also want it to
generate interest in visiting the Tower, which is a National Landmark and one
of only a few remaining shot towers in the world.”
In
this fourteen-level game, players ascend the 215 foot Shot Tower, which was
once the tallest building in America.
Collecting materials along the way to make drop shot and overcoming obstacles
the player will virtually experience the Shot Tower climb. The game is designed
to be suitable
for all ages.
The
game is currently available for download to iPhones and iPads through the iTunes
Store.
Proceeds from the game support The Phoenix Challenge: Carroll Museum’s campaign to restore, renew, and
reopen the Phoenix Shot Tower. www.thephoenixchallenge.org
