With structures dating back to the early 1900s, learners explore the village on foot to seven historic sites that showcase the rich cultural heritage of the chamorro people. Players visit the various places and solve a riddle using clues found at the site. Upon delivering the correct answer, access to a short video vignette will be given to explain in further detail what and why the site is significant to guam and its people. Php is developing a guam virtual reality (vr) program that brings to life world war ii on guam and its impact on the chamorro people. The program incorporates storytelling and an immersive experience to a broader audience by featuring oral histories of the chamorro people. Through virtual reality, youth will be able to feel connected to the past and gain a deeper understanding of other people's experiences and perspectives during world war ii. The virtual reality showcases five pivotal events in guam's world war ii history: the japanese surprise air attack of guam from an aerial point of view in december 1941; the invasion of guam on december 8, 1941 at the plaza de espana; the occupation experience as seen through the eyes of the people in the village of malesso' geus valley & rice fields; the chamorro resistance at atate in july 1944; and the battle for guam between the americans and japanese miliitary forces.
