Agents of Discovery is an augmented reality, geo-triggered app that gets you outside, active, and engaged in the world around you. With Agents of Discovery, you become a top-secret Agent, dedicated to solving the mysteries of science, culture, technology, and nature. Download the app from Google Play or the App Store.

 

Just to get the jargon out of the way:

Challenges

Challenges are questions or games. There are a variety of Challenge types: AR Picker, Image 50/50, Sound Matcher, and more. Unlock and solve Challenges by exploring the map.

Missions

Missions are made up of Challenges. Each Mission also has a map of the location and a Field Agent to guide you. Once you complete all the Challenges in your Mission, you’ll unlock a reward!

There are Missions in Canada, the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. Check out our list of current sites on the Missions page.

Can’t find one near you? Fear not! Agents of Discovery has partnered with Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium and several leading conservation organizations to bring you Mission Conservation — a series of play-at-home Missions and livestreams. Head over to the Mission Conservation page for more information.

What is a petroglyph? Why does the moon change shape? Who was Martin Luther King Jr.? Why are bees so important? How do you prevent wildfires? How do you change the world? We’ll help you answer all these questions and more!

Here’s How to Play:

Download the app and create your Agent profile

Pick a Mission in your area or go to the Mission Conservation website to find a play-at-home Mission.

Use your Secret Agent skills to find and unlock Challenges

Solve Challenges to learn cool facts and collect USBees (points)!

NOTE: If you plan to play a Mission located away from home, download the Mission BEFORE heading to it, so you can play without WiFi or a data connection.
