Kroll's Corn Maze Game
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kroll’s Corn Maze Game is the official educational maze companion for guests visiting Kroll’s Fall Harvest Farm in Waukegan, Illinois. Each year, our corn maze features a new educational theme. Read the information signs along the winding entrance, then search the maze for 12 numbered pumpkin signs. Scan each QR code, answer the questions, and see how much you learned. Some pumpkin signs include a question with two answer choices. Others are Freebies that count toward your progress. Submitted answers are final. Find all 12 signs and answer every question correctly for a chance to receive one of the available farm prizes. Players who complete the maze but miss a question receive a Classic Maze Sticker. The app includes English and Spanish language options, a QR scanner with flashlight controls, a numbered pumpkin progress tracker, and quick access to Kroll’s GPS Maze Map. Progress is saved on the phone, and the game resets automatically for a new play on the next calendar day. No account is required. The app does not contain advertising or analytics and does not collect personal information. This app is intended for use during an in person visit to Kroll’s Fall Harvest Farm. Each phone gets one play and a chance to win one prize per day. Physical prizes are claimed at the front counter and are subject to availability.
