The Tripods is a futuristic game where the world has been taken over by an alien race known as the Tripods and the humans are capped with a thought regulating device. A group of teenagers trying to avoid capping at the age of sixteen flee, in search for the white mountains which, as tales were told, is the human resistance against the Tripods. This takes them from England to France where the mountains are located.
