Toledo Park Quest

Park Quest is an engaging and educational video game created in partnership with the City of Toledo's Department of Parks & Youth Services and BESN X Community. Developed by local youth (ages 12-18) alongside BESN X Community, the game is designed to highlight Toledo's parks in a fun, interactive way—promoting awareness, appreciation, and connection to community spaces. The project is part of a broader effort to empower youth in STEM, game design, and creative industries while fostering civic pride.

Players will explore real-world inspired locations like Ottawa Park and the Police Museum, collecting trash, repairing landmarks, and uncovering clues to stop the mysterious forces damaging the parks. Each level introduces new challenges and mini-games that teach the importance of community care, sustainability, and teamwork.
