The DC Explorer will run until November 7th. Anyone can join in by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing “Missions”, or games at participating locations. Each Mission is made up of educational “Challenges” that teach players about local history, culture, ecosystems, and safety. For example, at the Korean War Veterans Memorial, players can learn about the history and legacy of the Korean War. At another location, the National Arboretum, players can learn about different types of trees and the critters that help them grow.
Missions can be found in the following cities: Washington - Columbia Gardens Cemetery, USDA Urban Forest, The National Arboretum, Scenic America Presents: “Scenic Conservation in Washington, DC”, Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, World War II Memorial; Rockville - Recreation and Parks Month; Baltimore - Middle Branch Exploration Trail, Welcome to Gwynn Galls Leakin Park; Woodbridge - Fox Loop Mission; Bowie - Patuxent Research Refuge - National Wildlife Visitor Center, Patuxent Research Refuge – North Tract; Frederick - Arbor Day, Fish and Clean Stream, Rose Hill Manor; Hagerstown - Art in Nature; Kettering - Watkins Regional Park.
