Our Expert Score
Mormon Trail is a fascinating, educational, and often brutal survival simulation that captures the historical weight of the westward expansion. It follows the template made famous by games like Oregon Trail but with a specific focus on the mid-19th century exodus of the pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley. The game does a remarkable job of balancing resource management with historical storytelling.
You’ll find yourself constantly weighing the risks of crossing rivers, managing food supplies, and dealing with the devastating effects of disease. The art style is evocative of the era, using a vintage-inspired aesthetic that fits the mood perfectly. What makes it stand out is the inclusion of real historical events and journals that pop up during your journey, giving context to your struggle. It’s a deep, challenging, and ultimately rewarding simulation that manages to be both a great game and a history lesson.
Features

Challenging hunting and trading mini-games
Tips & Walkthrough
Always keep at least two spare axles and wheels. A breakdown in the middle of a desert can cost days of time and deplete your water supplies rapidly.
Gameplays
If a party member falls ill, reduce your traveling pace to 'Strenuous' or 'Leisurely.' High speeds during illness almost always result in the loss of a character.

Good game
Wed Mar 08 2023 MadKing1If you live Oregon Trail this is a good clone. Suggestion: Change the music to something more fitting if possible. Problems: If your wagon burns and you lose money it chooses a random amount to take from you potentially putting you cash amount into negative numbers. i.e. You lose $40 even though you only had $10 making it so you have -$30
Fun!
Fri Oct 21 2022 The forbidden isleI was looking for a mobile version of the classic game, and nothing really looked the same. This one looked the best but I wasn’t excited to pay the two dollars for it but I’m glad I did, it was totally worth it! For one guy making it, I was really impressed that I didn’t experience any bugs and there were even some improvements I like over the original game (like the clock for hunting and being able to end early if you shoot a bison or something). The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the ending which was a little unsatisfying because you can’t compare your scores with anyone else (no leaderboard) but I understand the game is pretty unknown so I’m sure there aren’t too many consistent players haha! Some of my friends downloaded it too though so at least we can compare that way!
Simple, but Fun!
Sun Aug 03 2025 HXman246Haven’t been able to complete the game yet, but it’s fun. It’s a simple game, not super fancy, but it doesn’t need to be in my opinion. It is pretty difficult though, particularly when you have to cross rivers. Still, I find it enjoyable enough, and I would recommend it!
Classic Oregon Trail with a twist
Thu Nov 13 2025 Jesse80025Classic Oregon Trail but the twist is that you get multiple wives when you accomplish your objective! Or at least that’s how I like to pretend! All serious: this game plays well and is well made. I even like the Mormon scripture and Jesus ending.
Surprisingly entertaining
Sun Dec 01 2024 Remmy RemmyFor less than $2, I was not expecting much. However, I found it to be as entertaining and challenging as the original Oregon Trail.
Not what it seems
Tue Feb 25 2025 JTE2019I thought it was fun at first but my score remained the same as it was when I first played it. Fording the river will kill everyone, and the list of supplies and options is short. It was okay the first time, just not the second and DEFINITELY not worth the money.
Good game but there’s a major bug
Sat Mar 08 2025 TrashcanACIt’s a really fun and good game but very near the end, it makes you get to a destination, then you don’t move and you keep going to the same destination, and you can’t press anything except reset. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
The original game changed for iPhone
Tue Dec 10 2024 David UmstattdThis game is the original Oregon trail with all its simplistic and easy charm. However it lacks 2 key features 1. You cannot save your game so you have to play in one sitting lest you lose your progress 2. The game doesn’t record your scores which is a real shame as it removes much of the appeal of replaying. It gives you a score it just doesn’t remember them. Also the game refuses to explain its mechanics to you, which removes much of the strategy.
