Sign Up for Bland's Botanical Bequest

Bland's Botanical Bequest is a fun, fast-paced immersion game where players must work together as they dig through historical mysteries on their quest to 'escape' the Bland cottage...

Do you think you can solve the final puzzle before it’s too late?

The game and materials are based on real-life, archival materials housed right here at Zach S. Henderson Library Special Collections. Join us this year at the GS Botanic Garden's Bland Family Cottage as we celebrate Georgia Archives Month and the value of Special Collections as a caretaker of historical records!
