The Imaginary Game
Come explore Brushwood Center with The Imaginary Game!
The Imaginary Game gives kids ages 8-14 the extraordinary opportunity to build and experience their own fantasy game world, filled with adventure, achievements, and magic, all of their own design.
In a world of toy conglomerates, movie franchises, and computer-generated virtual reality, The Imaginary Game allows young minds and bodies to grow. We give them back the power to create their own worlds, far more rich, real, and dynamic than any movie could ever hope to be.
