Upper City

The Upper City was introduced to players during the September 2019 event, Through the Fog. Players must first play and complete the five collections of the Unexpected Guests case. Doing so will repair the blimp at the Airship Dock and ready it for safe travel through memory-erasing fog. The Upper City seems to be rather dystopian; residents apparently are afraid of both monsters and the Fog, some buildings are intact while other parts of the city are in pieces, and even Mr. Black, who greets the player, is very suspicious of their sudden journey.

Players may also unlock Upper City by reaching Level 10 during Upper City events.

## Overview

In terms of Locations, the Upper City seems to have fewer fantasy- styled locations, thus is far, far removed from the styles the Easter Picnic or Haunted Park depict. The Locations seem to have aged technology; the Post Office has a rail for a cart of letters and typewriters rather than current day conveyors or machines that quickly check postage. The Lamplighter's Workshop also, as implied, uses lamps to ward off the fog, but has no mention of current-day bulbs or LEDs. Many of the locations have a reoccurring theme: part of the player's view is obscured by a wall or ceiling, there is usually a view of the outside, and often there are what appear to be steam pipes in the location. This fits into the area looking more realistic, as these perspectives seem more like the player is standing within the area, rather than ambiguously looking (as in the viewpoint of Jack's Tower). The early Locations of the Upper City are of middling level, using less Energy but rewarding fewer coins. As time has passed and new Upper City locations have been revealed, the newer locations generally follow the same high entry level, high energy use, and higher rewards as the newer Main City locations.

The Upper City has its own Diary of Investigations with Unexpected Guests (the case that introduces the Upper City) being number one in the book. It also has its own set of collections, assemblers and artifact assemblers. The player's friend, Jacob, is also rumored to be in the Upper City, never having seen the City of Shadows.

There is an icon of an Airship on the bottom bar of a player's screen. If the case has not been completed, it will be greyed out. Once all five collections relating to the case have been finished, it will become clickable and will take the player to the Upper City. Once inside the Upper City, players will be able to click the same icon, which will then take them back to the Main City. It should be noted that upon finishing the fifth collection of the case, a scene will pop up and take players to the Upper City without even needing to collect the artifact collection or case reward first.

Players will also have the pleasure of meeting new characters in the City and getting new quests to play the available locations.

## Visiting Friends in Upper City

To visit a friend in Upper City, the friend must first unlock Upper City.

If it is unlocked an airship will appear on their map as well as an airship icon on the right of the screen, if the airship icon is clicked it will take the player to the Upper City and players will briefly see the inside of an airship then appear in the Upper City.

If a friend hasn't unlocked Upper City there will be no floating airship in their city nor an airship icon on the right side of the screen to take a player to Upper City.

To go back down to the Main (Lower) City then click on the airship icon on the right side of the screen while in Upper City.

## Trivia

* When the Upper City was introduced to players, two new Exploration Modes were also introduced; "Invisible Ink" and "Mystical Rounds". For a long time, these two modes were only active in the Upper City. Now, these modes are also active in the Main City.
	+ **Invisible Ink** causes letters of words to be filled in over time.
	+ **Mystical Rounds** is 4 rounds of finding items; find 5 silhouettes, find 5 related items, a normal Words mode, or a filled in silhouettes mode.
	+ These two new modes oddly drop items under the 'Mysticism' collection tab, despite being considered normal game types. This is likely due to there not being a specific collection set for normal modes; **Backwards Words** has the same treatment.
* The Unexpected Guests is Case 6 in the Diary and unlocks at level 16.
* When the Upper City was introduced to players, there were no monsters in the Upper City. That has since changed, and now monsters are a part of Upper City life.
* Locations in the Upper City do not experience any Anomalies (as of June 2023).
