How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Star Junction is the neon-lit crossroads in central Algonquin, covered in giant advertising screens and theatre fronts.

The real place

Times Square is the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and is famous for its electronic billboards. Several of Star Junction's billboards parody adverts that really ran in Times Square.

Visiting

Go after dark, when the screens are at their brightest. For a view over the square, sit on the red steps above the TKTS booth in Duffy Square.
