GAME OF SHROOMS DAY 2026
The Great Mushroom Scavenger Hunt

Something magical is growing in Ontario...

On June 13, artists around the world will be hiding original mushroom-themed artwork in parks, trails, and public spaces for lucky explorers to FIND ... and KEEP!

This year, Brainy Games is joining the fun by hiding
THREE special acrylic mushrooms in:

🍄 Aurora 🍄
🍄 Newmarket 🍄
🍄 Uxbridge 🍄

Each mushroom can be redeemed for a unique
Colour-Your-Own Mushroom Puzzle!

YOUR QUEST

Gather your family, lace up your walking shoes,
and become Mushroom Hunters!

Hidden somewhere in each town is a special acrylic mushroom token. The first family to find it wins a Brainy Games mushroom brainteaser.

All artifacts have been placed in safe public locations, well away from traffic.
