Agents of Discovery
Hello, Agent!
Are you ready to accept your Mission and explore your Santa Clara County Parks in a whole new way? The more Missions you complete, the more prizes you can win!
Agents of Discovery is an educational mobile game where people of all ages can learn about the natural, cultural, and historic resources at parks all around the world.
Engage in various activities at a park, earn points (USBees), complete a “mission” and receive a prize reward. Some missions can be completed at home. A smart phone or tablet is required but the app
is free, and once downloaded, it does not require WiFi or a data connection. All our missions are available to play in English and Spanish!
