Our team ensures a fun, challenging, and secure adventure for every player, so you can focus on solving puzzles, collaborating, and enjoying the experience.

The 1960 Lake Tahoe (Squaw Valley) Winter Olympics were full of firsts! 🏅
For the first time ever, the Winter Olympics featured Walt Disney as pageantry chair, the first nationwide TV broadcast (with instant replay invented!), the first Olympic Village, artificial ice for speed skating, electronic timing, and the debut of women's speed skating and the biathlon.
And did you know that you can actually snowshoe or cross-country ski the Olympic trail at Sugar Pine Point State Park?!

Last week, we announced that we have received a $1,500 grant from the Truckee Core Values Event Fund to support our fourth-annual Legacy Day at Donner Memorial State Park. Well, this week, we're excited to share that we received $29,500 in grant funding from Parks California’s Route to Parks program, supporting efforts to reduce transportation barriers and expand access to California’s state parks.

This year with the grant's support, Sierra State Parks Foundation and our local California State Parks will:

• Increase the capacity and safety of the Donner Memorial State Park's Paddling Tour Program

• Increase the capacity of Sugar Pine Point State Park's weekly kayak programs

• Reduce transportation costs and barriers for underserved communities locally and in nearby urban communities

Thanks to our partners, California State Parks and Parks California, for their support!

When you geotag Sugar Pine Point State Park, Ed Z'berg pops up. Ever wonder who this mystery guy is?
He was a significant California Democratic politician (1926-1975) and environmental champion known for his extensive environmental legislation, particularly protecting Lake Tahoe.

Major accomplishments include:
🌲crafted legislation that established open space,
🐻funded state park acquisitions,
🪵created a workable system of state timber management,
🚙established off-road vehicle policies,
🤝and created the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, TRPA!

He was instrumental in creating state parks and preserving natural areas, embodying a commitment to public land. And now you know!

💀 When the Sun Sets, the Hunt Begins 🔐

Deep within the shadowed woods of the Romanian Hoia Forest, an abandoned Gothic fortress stands frozen in time — whispered about in legends and feared for centuries. Those who ventured too close were never seen again.
The sun is fading. The air grows colder. Night is coming — and once it falls, there may be no escape. Every decision matters. Every puzzle brings you closer to survival… or eternal night.

When you're hiking on trails, you may have seen signs at trailheads stating to keep an eye out for Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs, such as the trailhead to Cascade Falls across from Emerald Bay State Park...

Well, we have some good news to share! Multiple agencies and organizations have collaborated to reintroduce these little frogs to their native range in the Tahoe National Forest, while also removing non-native species that contributed to their decline. We look forward to following the progress of this work in the coming years.
