About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

In Shroomscape, you play as one of four mushroom characters, with specific strengths and weaknesses. Experience the entire mushroom lifecycle as you grow towards Resource Pieces in unique geometric patterns, collect Resource Tokens, sprout Fruiting Bodies, and release Spores! As you connect, collaborate, and compete with fellow mycelium, your networks will form a unique Shroomscape, lush with fruiting bodies and spores that tell the story of the biggest adventure of all: entangled life itself.

Everyone (ages 10+) is welcome and no gaming experience is needed. The game and activities do not require familiarity with the subject—however, if you are interested, check out the links below to learn more about mycelium and the board game:
