help Mission US FAQ
Which historical periods can you play in Mission US?
Mission US offers separate stories set during events such as the American Revolution, westward expansion, immigration and the civil-rights era. Each mission follows a fictional young person whose choices expose the player to competing viewpoints and primary-source context.
Is Mission US made by PBS?
Mission US was developed by THIRTEEN, the New York public-media station operated by WNET. Its educational distribution and public-media background are why it is often described broadly as a PBS history project.
Do choices change the ending in Mission US?
Choices affect conversations, relationships and parts of the player's route through a mission. The real historical event still follows its documented course, so the game does not let a player rewrite outcomes such as the American Revolution.
What age group is Mission US designed for?
The missions are primarily classroom resources for middle-school learners. Teacher materials accompany the games with vocabulary, documents and activities tied to United States history.
