About the Game
What is the Rhode Island Great Outdoors Pursuit?
The
Rhode Island Great Outdoors Pursuit is a game to help you and your
family to enjoy the recreational resources and outdoor activities our
state parks have to offer, and to get moving toward a healthier
lifestyle.
How does it work?
To play
the Rhode Island Great Outdoors Pursuit, you need a minimum two-member
team (one adult 18 years or older and one child under 18) and the desire
to have a great time. You’ll decode clues, discover
You
will be invited to participate in up to seven “Pursuits” over a 12-week
period. See the
Events page for the schedule. At each
pursuit, you’ll be able to participate in free and low-cost activities
such as hiking, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing and children’s games.
Each Pursuit will also feature music, food, environmental and
health-related exhibits, and free raffles, give-a-ways and samples.
Five of
the Pursuits require attendance on specific days. The remaining Pursuits
are "self-guided" that you and your team can do on your own, before the
Grand Finale. See the
Events page for a list of
options to choose from.
How Do I Win Prizes?
Your
team will earn points for each event you complete. Just check in at
guided events or provide the required proof-of-visit for self-guided
events. The number of events you attend determines which prizes you are
eligible for. See
Game Rules for complete game
rules and eligibility.
