Gold Rush The Game Story Locations

Basic Information About Stories

The stories are located around the map at "key" locations. Such as Arnold's Parcel. If you check out the Journal, you will see a listing of each locations pages. As you find the pages you will see the "story" in the journal.

All pages are standard size paper (8 1/2 x 11), with some writing on them. Most are on the ground, but some are posted on vertical surfaces. Those on the ground can be a bit hard to see in the snow, but if use flashlight - & watch the flashing story icon in upper right of screen, you will be able to 'narrow down' the locations. You can get the story icon when driving, but often pass locations so fast that only a quick flash of the indicator. For that reason I run on both the right & then the left side of roads near the locations.

Here is a sample story sheet attached to a wall; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1533745619

When I start a new game, I actually run (not drive) around the map to collect the majority of stories. I cannot gather the stories at each mines location until I purchase or lease the parcels, but the rest of the stories are easily available in one loop around the map. By collecting the stories it will help save some costs on both fuel & repair parts in all future operations. When all done collecting these initial stories, I then lease the Arnold mine parcel, buy my mining equipment. And once I arrive at the now open Arnold's Parcel, I collect the stories for that location.
