Mission US is a free educational media project that uses interactive narratives to explore moments in U.S. history. It is developed especially for middle school students in grades 5–8, in classrooms and beyond. Players make choices that show how ordinary people experienced the past. Educator guides offer historical context, activities, discussion prompts, and further reading. Teachers can create classes and student accounts in a dashboard, then monitor progress and in-game data. Tracking is limited to accounts created through that dashboard; separately made accounts cannot be linked. Access options include web streaming, PC and Mac downloads, Chromebook and iPad apps, and a Windows 10 app for Up from the Dust. Flight to Freedom is not currently available as a streaming version, and registration is required for full game access. Historians from the American Social History Project/Center for Media & Learning at CUNY Graduate Center help develop the history content. The service collects only personal information and student data reasonably needed to operate and has no third-party or targeted advertising. Mission US is free to access.
