KIZUNA QUEST has just launched in North America, bringing families a simple new way to turn everyday time together into meaningful conversation. Players draw from a 52-card deck, take turns leading the “quest,” read the prompts aloud, and share their answers—no complicated rules, preparation, winners, or losers. The cards are designed to spark laughter, memories, honest feelings, and deeper connection, making KIZUNA QUEST especially appealing for parents and kids, but also useful for couples, friends, educators, and coaches. The game is launching through Kickstarter, with early-bird pricing and special backer rewards available at launch.

These free family-friendly walks will lead you through the beautiful, winding trails of California Botanic Garden showing how you can spot and identify your local bird life. Meet Pomona Valley Audubon Society hosts at the Garden entrance at 8:00 a.m. for free admission. This family-friendly bird walk is approximately 2 hours long and is perfect for beginners and experienced birders alike. No binoculars? No worries! Loaner binoculars are available (limited number so first come first served.) You will receive instructions on their use as well. Please bring comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, plenty of water, and any bird guides or binoculars you may have!
