Imagine traveling back in time to a moment that changed everything. You’re not just reading about the American Revolution — you’re living in it. At Revolutionary Spaces, history comes to life with interactive experiences, like their award-winning game, “Revolution is Brewing.”
Whether you’re a history lover, educator, or just someone who loves a good story, this hands-on adventure offers a fun + unique way to explore the American Revolution. Through immersive role-play, you’ll get to uncover diverse viewpoints and gain a more nuanced understanding of the era.
⏳ The game
Step into the Old South Meeting House museum and historic site, the very spot where the Boston Tea Party sparked a revolution. In this immersive 90-minute experience, you’ll be thrust into a growing conflict across the colonies.
Split into four political groups — conservatives, radicals, moderates, and British citizens — then work with your team to debate the Coercive Acts. These were the measures Parliament and King George used to punish Boston in the wake of the Boston Tea Party in 1773.
