A Day in the Park is a “Big Game” that turns the park into a adventure of puzzle solving and missions. The goal is to be the first team that solves all the HUGE tangrams and complete all the missions. Beware of the final mission quick draw, you could either secure your victory or suffer a major set back. It is anyone’s game up until the very end. During the game players get to interact with their environment and people in new and interesting ways. The game was part of the 2009 Come Out and Play Festival in New York City’s Central Park.
