About This Cartridge

NOTE: Cartridge updated 9/5/2013 due to construction for new Polar Bear habitat.

In this interactive game, you will explore "The Wild" and "Historic Hill", two zones of the Saint Louis Zoo.

In The Wild go from the sub-Antarctic to tropical rain forests, to see penguins, bears and great apes.

On a lovely stroll through Historic Hill, visit animal houses of 1920s architecture to discover primates, birds and reptiles in modern habitats.

Entrance to the Zoo is free! Coolers and picnic baskets are permitted on the Zoo grounds. Save the game to allow time to visit other animals and habitats along the way. Total walking distance is about two miles.

This cartridge was created at the April 2013 St. Louis Game Jam.

There is an associated geocache (GC4B87G) at (visit link)

Zoo grounds are wheelchair and stroller accessible. Final zone for geocache is outside of Zoo grounds and is not accessible. 

Starting Location

Outside the North Entrance to the Saint Louis Zoo.

Paid parking is available in the zoo lots. Free parking can be found in surrounding Forest Park. Summer days can be extremely busy and make traffic difficult. Plan to start your adventure early!

LOVE IT! Couldn't get the unlucky thing to work, but the final cache location was beautiful Only knocked down a few spider webs along the way. Set a TB on it's maiden voyage, and I'm anxious to see where it'll go!

I found this cache and want to be added to the completions list, but I do not know how to get credit. Which may be why only 4 people out of about 50 who have found it have gotten credit. How do I find the "Unlock Code" or "upload my save game"?

I loved the story in the zoo and it was fun tracking down all the locations. Even though I've created a WhereIGo, there are so many different ways to do it and I'm still learning the nuances. I didn't realize I needed to "complete" the cartridge at the final location. After we finished the story and received the final coords, we plugged those coords into c:geo and went to find it. The final location was not easy considering all the work already put into the mystery, but we were glad to have it in our hands.
