What sacred promise shattered in a single moment here? Which strange artifact inside the Cantor Arts Center hints at a feud between geniuses? And why did high society gather under moonlight among prickly cacti for a party no one ever spoke of again?

Wind through world-changing ideas and hidden drama. Trace intrigue beneath arches and sunlit gardens. See Santa Clara County anew as you unlock mysteries at every turn.

Press play and let the hidden Stanford emerge before your eyes.
