De missie: Jouw verhaal in San Diego

Ah, Balboa Park! So much time spent contemplating your little fountains, stunning gardens, beautiful buildings. Sickening!
The council has shut down our plan for progress. They’ve abandoned us. 

They say entrepreneurship; they say they support us. 

“If it were anywhere else,” they say. I say beeswax! Enough! Down with the park!
Find the rose at…
 
The note scares you. Down with the park?! No. Who wrote this? How? You can’t let this happen. As Lead Botanist, you must act to prevent it!

Veel Gestelde Vragen

What’s the story I’ll be living here?

You’re the Lead Botanist. Someone’s left a note threatening to shut down the park. You’ve got to follow clues across gardens, fountains, and hidden corners to stop it—preserve the beauty before it’s too late.

Do I need to pay for Balboa Park attractions to do this?

Nah, you don’t need attraction tickets. The route is outdoors through gardens, fountains, statues—mostly free public spaces.

What are some highlights I’ll see during the adventure?

Big ones: rose gardens, the fountain that changes with wind, the bronzed animal statue, the garden grotto with butterflies. Lots of beauty and little surprises.

Is this a good thing for families or kids?

Yeah, especially older kids who like exploring. The gardens are beautiful, there’s fun stuff to spot (butterflies, fountains, statues), so it keeps things engaging.

Could this be a good plan for a date?

Definitely. Strolling through gardens, solving puzzles together, stopping by fountains or views—it’s calm, beautiful, charming.

What if I want to stop mid-way for photos, snacks, or rest?

Go ahead. The quest is flexible; you can pause whenever you want and resume. Plenty of picturesque spots to chill.
