Players actually compete against others online to find the best route to go around the world, with a ticking clock to remind them that there is a deadline to beat.</p> <div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ai6ISI3uimA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-ai6isi3uima" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> <p>The app description says:</p>

<p>Playing as Phileas Fogg's loyal valet, Passepartout, you must balance your master's health, your finances, and the time, as you choose your own path from city to city all the way around the world. Bribe your way onto early departures, but don't let yourself go bankrupt or you'll be sleeping rough and begging for aid! Trade items for profit, and collect the equipment for the conditions you'll face: but too much luggage will slow you down.</p>
