Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a venerable pen-and-paper roleplaying game using dice and miniatures, first published in 1974. Although it was originally marketed for college-aged players, it’s experiencing a massive cultural resurgence and is becoming popular with younger and younger adventurers. In Dungeons & Dragons, adventurers often explore dungeons and defeat monsters in a cooperative setting, working together to solve puzzles and discover secrets. The basic game is freely available and can be adapted to suit any group of players, ages, and interest levels, although the dice elements mean it’s often best suited to players ten or 11 and up.

Either start at Haskayne Legacy Park and bike to Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, or drive straight to Cochrane where you can explore the pathways from Riverfront Park.
