Turn Thanksgiving into an outdoor family adventure! Get outside, explore together, search clues, solve puzzles and learn about human senses.
About this Event

This real-world city adventure is designed to spark curiosity, connection, and learning through fun outdoor play. Inspired by popular superhero teams, children will follow clues around the city, discover hidden places, and solve engaging puzzles with the help of their favorite animal heroes: a lion, panda, monkey, and labrador!



HOW DOES IT WORK❓

This is an outdoor adventure game that blends walking, story, and interactive puzzles:

  • You walk to real locations by following clues (not playing while walking).
  • Once there, you solve fun puzzles together and unlock new chapters.
  • Kids use the screen minimally and meaningfully, just enough to get the next clue or puzzle.
  • If your child can read, they can play mostly on their own.
  • If not, the parent becomes the host and teammate, making it a shared experience.



Built with a child therapist to support development

This experience was co-created with a child therapist to:

  • Foster better communication between parents and children
  • Encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and observation
  • Offer screen-light, real-world play that actually benefits development
  • Help kids learn to notice, explore, and imagine again — outside


Ready to solve puzzles, discover new places, and become heroes together for this Thanksgiving?
