The Lighthouse in the Forest

120-minute plan · 4 players · Explore changing places A lighthouse shines among the trees. Migrating birds circle it instead of finding their river, while its keeper insists the light saved a lost child. Content notice: Heights and migrating animals. Use the ground-level service cord instead of the platform if preferred; no animal injury occurs.
