Smokey's Scouts is a forest-friendly match 3 game where players take on the role of aspiring scouts. Players are tasked with helping Smokey in preventing wildfires by removing fire hazards along their hike. Players will learn about Smokey’s history and wildfire prevention and safety through additional mini-games along the way. Completing tasks results in being awarded badges and game currency (bear tokens) to better assist scouts in their training. Smokey’s Scouts is a match 3 title inspired by both Smokey Bear and the Mid Atlantic Forest Fire Protection Compact’s mission to support wildfire prevention/safety awareness. Columbus College of Art & Design and Mid Atlantic Forest Fire Protection Compact created Smokey's Scouts during a sponsored learning collaboration within CCAD's Game Art & Design program. Together, with help from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the United States Forest Service, they created this prototype game to increase forest fire prevention and fire safety awareness among teens, young adults, and their families.

That gap looks big enough. Send it. You’re in charge of four roads and one very busy roundabout. Tap to release a car, slip through a gap, and try not to create a completely avoidable pileup. The controls are simple. The bus coming around the corner is the problem. YOU’VE GOT A TOWN TO KEEP MOVING Start Story Mode in Evergreen. Chapter One has eight days to clear, from your first few cars to buses, mixed traffic and Festival. Get every vehicle through to unlock the next day. One collision ends the day, so that last car still counts. Then head to Sunset Coast for eight more days with beach buggies, convertibles and three-car convoys. Then Midnight turns up the pressure: street racers, bus rushes, roadworks and a film festival with somewhere for everyone to be. Twenty-four traffic puzzles. Plenty of chances to say, “I definitely had room.” PICK YOUR KIND OF PRESSURE • Standard: three lives to chase your best score. • One Life: one crash and you’re done. • Zen: steady arrivals, no vehicle stacking. Take it easy. Try the Daily Challenge for the same traffic sequence as everyone else, then see how your score holds up. Standard, One Life and Daily rankings are right in the app. NICE SCENERY. WATCH THE ROAD. Unlock six maps: Evergreen, Sunset Coast, Midnight, Autumn Village, Candy and Arcade. Forest paths, beach roads, rainy streets, autumn markets, candy houses and neon everywhere. Each theme has its own music and rare vehicles to spot. Your score builds something, too. In scored Endless and Daily runs, each theme’s centerpiece comes together in ten stages, from a woodland spring to a glowing arcade battery. Story Mode starts with the finished centerpiece. PLAY YOUR WAY Left-handed or right-handed? Choose the one-handed controls that work for you. Core gameplay and personal records work offline, with no account required. Free to download. No forced ads, banners or subscriptions. In Standard, you can choose to watch one rewarded ad per run for an extra life. The optional one-time Permanent Ad-Free upgrade removes ads and gives you that same continue without watching one. Purchases, Game Center and optional ads need an internet connection.
