The Minnesota Zoo is on the prowl again with a new installment of its hit computer game, WolfQuest. WolfQuest: Survival of the Pack is available now to download for free for PCs and Macs. This edition of the wildlife simulation allows players to establish a territory, raise cubs and form a family pack as they live the life of a wolf in Yellowstone National Park's Slough Creek. Players can go it alone or play with up to four friends online.
WolfQuest is aimed at preteens, but -- as I wrote in my review of the original game more than two years ago -- it's fun for all ages. The original game has been quite a hit, receiving more than 400,000 downloads and winning several awards, including honors from the American Association of Museums and Children's Technology Review.
"WolfQuest represents a new breed of video game -- one that marries state-of-the-art game design with scientifically accurate content," says Grant Spickelmier, assistant director of education at the zoo.
The Minnesota Zoo co-developed the WolfQuest games with St. Paul-based Eduweb.
