FAQ

  • Working with our partner zoo, the Wilder Institute / Calgary Zoo, we’ve simplified game preparation to in-office printing and the posting of signs along routes you select in your zoo. All game assets are made available for download from Google Drive, and you can attach your own customized or standard zoo map to the game sheet for players to navigate with.

  • When players arrive, you’ll give them a game sheet and a pencil. They’ll scan a QR code to load the game website — and the rest of the game is self-guided. Instructions and hints are provided to them for each part of the game, and the final part of the game is a sit-down-anywhere portion that gives players a chance to eat, drink, and rest while they finish any remaining puzzles. When players leave the zoo, just collect the pencils and recycle the game sheets.
