An Alternate Reality Game Played in the Real World

Come out and play CryptoZoo, a new real-world game the health Horizons Program has developed in partnership with the American Heart Association.

The game will be played this Sunday afternoon in San Francisco, and next weekend in New York City at the Come Out and Play Festi

It's a secret world of strange, fast-moving creatures... Your city is full of strange creatures, hiding in plain sight. But to catch a glimpse of them, you have to keep up... Learn how to run with the most mysterious species on the planet: bounce like springboras, slalom like whip zananas, crouch-run like ninja rabbits, spin like swingdogs, jump like tiptrees, and swing like the summit monkeys. You've never moved like this before. And once you've run with the cryptids, you'll never move the same way again.
