The Wherigo Foundation

The Wherigo Foundation is an organized group of enthusiasts who have come together to develop Wherigo beyond Groundspeak’s initial specification. This volunteer group is comprised of Wherigo Builder and Player developers, artists, and web developers. The group’s immediate goal is to make Wherigo more accessible and user friendly to the community while working on the long-term goal of reimagining the Wherigo experience.

The foundation is responsible for everything regarding Wherigo: the builders and compilers that make, emulators that test, site that hosts, and apps that play the cartridges. If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact the person in charge of the project to which you would like to contribute.
