We have arrived at our destination. The path in front of us looks like we can walk it. We can’t take the car.
We follow signs that look like candy through a troll forest. We are surrounded by funny-looking trees. A dinosaur’s face is growing from one tree.
SPLISH, SPLASH. SPLISH, SPLASH. One Adventurer’s foot slipped off the duckboards into the soggy swamp. Was it a rhizophagus beetle that grabbed hold of the foot?
We eat our packed meal on the cliffs. Our Adventurer’s foot is still saying splash.

Play a game
Agent
One or more players go behind a tree or a rock to become an agent. The agent doesn’t need to be completely hidden, but he or she may peek from his or her hiding place. One player stays in the middle and turns slowly in a circle. The agent is supposed to always move to a new hiding place while the player in the middle doesn’t see him or her.
