Celebrate 100 Years Of State Parks With SPR Go! Game

Last updated on Thursday, January 21, 2016

(UNDATED) - Discover the hidden treasures of Indiana’s state parks as they celebrate their centennial year by taking part in the SPR GO! Game.

The game is similar to bingo. Players must find game codes at designated locations on the properties and record them on their game card in the appropriate space. Completing five spaces in a row, column or diagonal qualifies the player for prizes.

Prizes include annual entrance passes that can be used at state parks, reservoirs and state forest recreation areas; gift cards for Indiana State Park inns and lodges; camping gift cards; subscriptions to Outdoor Indiana magazine and more.

As a bonus to celebrate the 100th birthday of Indiana State Parks, SPR GO! Game participants can try the more challenging "Centennial Cover-All" version.

The Cover-All requires participants to visit at least 25 of the 40 sites on the card. Finishers will receive a free Indiana State Parks centennial coin, and also qualify for prizes.

The game's webpage, stateparks.IN.gov/gamecard, is the place to download a game card, read hints for finding the game code locations at each property, and to read rules and regulations.

SPR GO! is an abbreviation for State Parks & Reservoirs, Get Outside.

Each household is limited to one game card. Game cards must be received by the Department of Natural Resources by January 31, 2017, to be eligible for prizes.

In addition to prizes, the game is an opportunity to learn, create memories, and discover the parks. Indiana's state parks system was established in 1916 as a gift to Hoosiers in recognition of the state's 100th birthday.
