The Jacobee Code is a historically-themed adventure that combines a virtual world with a series of 12 books. The virtual world, found at www.jacabeecode.com, contains a secret language that must be learned in order to meet famous historical figures in history, literature, art, and science. The series is inspired by the legacy of one of the founder's great-grandfathers, F. Luis Mora, an American artist and world traveler. In the series, he is known as Jacabee, and the other characters are based on ones he illustrated and passed down from generation to generation. You start by creating an account, and fill out a Mad Libs-like questionnaire, to customize the experience. From there, you customize your avatar and build your personal home page, where your artifacts and clues are stored in your personal journal. At the end of the quest, your journal is printed, bound, and mailed to you. We were not able to determine a price.
