We have been working to update the WolfQuest server in response to the newly-discovered vulnerabilities in the PHP scripting language that runs WolfQuest.org (and something like 75% of websites around the world). We were hoping to do that without disruption to players, but alas.
Living on the coast, as the wolves in our upcoming Katmai game expansion do, means that the ocean is very important. It's the source of most of the food that these wolves eat. And that means that the ocean is an important element in the game -- much more important than creeks and

Katmai has a spectacular geologic history. Like Yellowstone, Katmai is a volcanic hotspot, on the Ring of Fire that circles the Pacific Ocean. But unlike Yellowstone, the volcanoes here have erupted recently! In 1912, what became known as the Novarupta eruption became the biggest

We’re in Yellowstone this week, mixing business with pleasure (perhaps more focus on the latter than the former). We’re revisiting our favorite areas — the game maps, of course — and hiking to spots in those areas that we have not explored previously. The team is still cranking a
What first drew us to the Katmai Coast as the location for a WolfQuest Game expansion? It was research conducted by Ellen Dymit, a wildlife biologist and doctoral student who has been studying the diet of wolves along the coast (and who played WolfQuest when she was young!). Elle

The state of Alaska is big -- very big. And so is Katmai National Park and Preserve, the location for the upcoming Katmai game expansion. Katmai is almost twice as big (16,500 square kilometers) as Yellowstone National Park (about 9,000 square kilometers). So, where in that vast

Since announcing the upcoming Katmai Coast game expansion two weeks ago, we've seen a lot of discussion and received a lot of questions about it! In today's devblog I'll address a few of those. First: Many people are using the term "sea wolves" when talking about wolves in the Ka

The coast of Katmai National Park in southwest Alaska is a remote, wild, and beautiful place -- and it's the setting for a major WolfQuest game expansion! Isolated from the interior of the park by the Alaskan Range, the coast is devoid of ungulates aside from some moose. What's a
