What's new
- Your companion warns you before the snacks run out.
- Random little moments: candy bars in old jacket pockets, bishops with granola bars in the glovebox.
- Choices that come back later. Help with the piano and it pays off.
- Custom missionaries, an original choir-and-horns soundtrack, and four seasons of Utah weather.
What hasn't changed
- Day-by-day travel between landmarks.
- Buying too little food at the first store.
- Naming your party after your friends.
- Dysentery.
Missionary Dash is an affectionate homage. It is not affiliated with The Oregon Trail or its owners.
