How it works

Questions

Can I walk along the Malecón in Havana?

Yes. The map is the real Havana in 3D. Search for the Malecón, and your character walks to the sea wall.

Can I talk to people in Spanish in the Havana game?

The game is in English only, so you type and read in English. Your character can still be Cuban in your story, and the places keep their Spanish names.
