Just a few more weeks to become a "Bay Area Explorer" on BART!

There are just a few more weeks to become a "Bay Area Explorer" on BART by hopping on our trains and completing cool challenges. 

In September, BART partnered with Bay Area Explorer 4.0., a free, educational campaign that uses AR gaming to help kids engage in free outdoor learning experiences using their phones or their parents’ phones. Think Pokémon Go, but for parks and education. 

For Bay Area Explorer 4.0., BART launched four missions for riders that will take them on a fun journey from Warm Springs to San Leandro, Millbrae to Daly City, North Concord to Rockridge, and Richmond to Ashby. The missions will run until Oct. 16. 

Anyone can join by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing missions made up of educational “challenges” that teach children about local history, culture, ecosystems, and safety. Simply get on the train and head to one of the mission areas to activate the game or play while on your commute. 

Other missions offered in the Bay Area include the Oakland Zoo, Don Edward National Wildlife Refuge, San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, Santa Clara County Parks, the City of San Jose, and more.

Players who complete missions will receive rewards as they play and also earn the chance to win big prizes, including a $250 Clipper Card.
