A Chicago-set coding adventure that invites players to explore a city and write real Python.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-09 issue.
For
Python beginners who prefer learning through games
Worth noticing
The interface lists eight collectible stamps and labels its opening lesson “Mission 01 / 08: Function Calls.”

Field notes

Movement uses WASD or arrows, E interacts, C opens code, and a city map is available; the page also lists driving controls. Its location marker gives 41°52′55.0″N, 87°37′40.0″W, while the mission log labels the first task “Walk to mission.” The captured browser reports a WebGL 2 startup failure, so this extract does not establish that the 3D scene ran.
