Imagine: you have only an irresistible desire to travel and 500 coins in your pocket, and you are on the streets of London or New York. That is all about the game “Backpacker”. Your goal is to earn money for a ticket to another city doing some jobs or completing different missions while wondering around famous locations.

You will be able to test your knowledge in jobs of different categories by completing adventurous challenges. Every week players must be ready to pass “an exam”, that include trivia and mini-games that will check their proficiency. This is also a cool chance to win additional rewards and souvenirs. You can collect lovely souvenirs in your backpack as a memory from different places you visited. There are 41 cities available in Backpacker and the number will increase with game improving.  

The gameplay of the Backpacker provides interaction with player’s friends: follow their trips and meet with them if they are in the same city. You can share your coins with friends, check their progress (available in the "passport" - player's profile in the game), and compete with them for the right to be on the top of the leaderboard.
