ANIMAL CONTROL
THE ANIMALS OF PROSPECT PARK HAVE GONE ROGUE —
AND THEY'VE RECRUITED YOU.

THREE ANIMAL FACTIONS FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF THE PARK.
This is not just a game. It's a top secret mission.
Join a faction and secure territory before rival teams intercept you. Decode messages, solve puzzles, and contact hidden agents in this epic spy hunt.

Mission: Animal Control is a live, outdoor area control game in Prospect Park.

At the end of the mission, whichever faction controls the most zones wins.
The hunt is designed for adults but is open to all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
