About the Game

Are you ready to discover the undiscovered? Are you ready to climb the tallest mountains, wear the finest clothes, and earn a fortune beyond compare?

Then welcome to the New World! Welcome to The Trail: Frontier Challenge!


Join pioneers from across land and sea in an epic journey across an undiscovered country! Walk down the single track path of destiny at a calm and measured pace! Get out there and make your mark upon the world, adventurer!

And you are not alone in your travels! Every person you meet on The Trail is another player who will trade with you at campfires located along the way.


  • Race, collect and compete in a variety of fun challenges
  • Choose from five professions (Lumberjack, Hunter, Cook, Tailor, and Explorer)
  • Earn skill points and level up in your chosen profession to become a Master!
  • Learn to craft increasingly valuable items and amass a fortune
  • Customise your style with a variety of outfits and clothing items
  • Fill your backpack on The Trail, but be careful! Those who take too much can end up collapsing and losing precious items!


  • Settle down in the town of Eden Falls
  • Join other players and form your very own community
  • Make your house a home with a wide variety of furnishings
  • Get your very own pet dog to accompany you wherever you go
  • Upgrade your house to be the envy of all your neighbours
  • Trade and share with other players to expand your town for the benefit of all
  • Grow together, work together, and one day, perhaps you might even become mayor!
