Florida WildQuest returns April 25: Join a statewide scavenger hunt on Florida’s WMAs

Media contact: FWC Press Office, 850-488-4676, Media@MyFWC.com Release Date: 03-31-2026   All Articles Tags:

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) invites Florida residents and visitors of all ages to join Florida WildQuest, a statewide scavenger hunt experience on Florida’s Wildlife Management Areas April 25-May 3. Learn more and find a nearby WMA at FloridaWildQuest.com.

Using the free and easy-to-use GooseChase app, participants will complete fun missions, such as photo, video and prompt-based challenges, while exploring Florida’s public conservation lands and discovering some of the state’s best places to see wildlife and enjoy the outdoors.

In addition to your fully-charged cell phone and a sense of adventure, we recommend bringing sun protection, bug spray, a recreation or trail guide, snacks and plenty of water with you. WildQuest is free to play, but some WMAs require a daily-use permit fee so check site details in advance. Cell service can be unreliable on portions of some WMAs. Participants can take photos and videos with their phone camera and upload them to the GooseChase app later.

How to play:

  1. Download the GooseChase app and create an account.
  2. Enter the WildQuest game code EBN6F2 to register and receive updates.
  3. From April 25-May 3, visit Florida WMAs and complete missions!

How to win:

  • Participants are eligible for a prize drawing by completing 10 missions during the event and completing a short survey (the final mission in WildQuest).
  • Winners will be selected at random on May 12 at 10 a.m. EDT.
  • All missions must be submitted by midnight on May 3.
  • No purchase is necessary. Prizes have been purchased by the FWC and are awarded in accordance with Section 849.0935, Florida Statutes.
