Did you know, you could play, explore, and learn about the refuge from your phone? Friends of Great Swamp is introducing an exciting new nature activity at the Wildlife Observation Center called Agents of Discovery. It’s a free smartphone app with exciting challenges to help you discover more about the great outdoors.

Download the app from any online app store (we suggest doing this before you visit).  Mission “challenges” are GPS-triggered. The first Mission begins at the entrance to the boardwalk trails with challenges all along the trail to the Sportsman’s’ Blind. As you move along the mission route, your mobile device will alert you when you get near the location of the next challenge. When a new challenge appears on your screen, tap to open it. You will learn fun facts about nature and wildlife, and then get a puzzle to solve.

Solve all the challenges to complete the mission!

The challenges are specifically designed to help learn about the wildlife and habitat at the Wildlife Observation Center. Additional missions and challenges will be added in the future. In the meantime: “Your Adventure Is About To Begin” Are you up to the challenge?
