Introduction

Hello! I am Professor Birl. I am in charge of Squirrel school. This week we're studying the periodic table. If Bizzy gets all of the correct codes, she can have a winter supply of acorns! Can you help her?

Let's keep going

Missions

Visit all four stops. At each stop, you will need to help Bizzy answer questions. When you get all the questions correct at each mission, she'll be able to collect acorns and the two of you will get a code! At the end of your journey through the forest, enter the code from each stop to get the winter supply of acorns!
