Welcome to Acorn Falls, est. 1852
Somewhere to spend
a slow afternoon.
Stroll down Main Street under the Harvest Festival bunting. Order pie at Rosie’s. Ring the Town Hall bell, then catch the train out to the lake before the lamps come on.
And the whole place is alive. 162 townsfolk with names and something to say. Cars that wait at the lights. A steam train that keeps its timetable.

Behind the wheelBorrow a car.
Everyone does.
Twelve 1950s models, from a wood-panelled wagon to the fire engine. Hop into any parked car, cruise past the square and leave it wherever you like.
Nobody in Acorn Falls locks their doors.
All aboardThe 5:15 is
right on time.
A green and brass steam engine runs the loop through the tunnel, over the trestle and out to the lake. Board at any platform and ride in the coach or up in the cab.

Everybody knows
your name here.
Meet 162 residents with names, jobs and plenty to say about the Harvest Festival. The baker is at her ovens, kids are on the swings and somebody is always fishing off the pier.
Ducks paddle on the pond, cats doze in the alleys, and the cars stop for anyone crossing at the corner.
Set the moodStay till the

lamps come on.
Time passes as you play. Golden afternoons, long sunset shadows, then lit windows, a glowing marquee and headlights on Main Street. Speed the clock up or pause it whenever you like.
The fun is in the details
Go on.
Have a look around.
Every room is furnished, every shelf is stocked, and there’s always one more door to try.
Pie at Rosie’s.
Chrome stools, red booths and a menu board with pie at fifteen cents. Rosie has been expecting you.
A soda at Carter’s.
A marble soda counter up front, the pharmacy at the back and shelves stocked all the way to the ceiling.
The Acorn Grand.
A two storey hotel lobby with chandeliers, a grand staircase, potted palms and a marble floor.
Town Hall.
Twin staircases rise to a gallery of portraits. Pull the bell rope and watch the tower bell swing.
The reading room.
Tall shelves packed with books, long tables with green lamps and a gallery running overhead.
Back to school.
Rows of wooden desks and a chalkboard that says spelling test Friday. The swings are just out back.
The Falls.
Take the trail up Acorn Ridge to the overlook beside the falls. The old mill turns its waterwheel on the creek below.
Down at the lake.
Rowboats bob on Acorn Lake. There’s a fishing pier, a boathouse and an ice cream stand on the shore.
Harvest Farm.
A red barn, a turning windmill and a pumpkin patch, with a hayride waiting on Harvest Road.
Every screenshot on this page is captured in the game. Select one for a closer look.

round.
Three stations, a tunnel through Acorn Ridge and a timber trestle over the creek. The crossing gates come down as the engine rolls through.
