Place Levels at Petra

Local, State, Country, Continent Adventure Pack

Among the carved stone cliffs of Petra, the global map system is glitching.

Borders are fading. Map layers are overlapping. Addresses are incomplete across the geographic archive. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the place-level network, and if the geographic hierarchy is not restored, explorers could lose track of how locations connect from local neighborhoods to the world.

In Place Levels at Petra, students deploy the Desert Compass Buggy and enter a high-stakes geography mission. By exploring how neighborhoods fit inside cities, how states or provinces fit inside countries, and how countries belong to continents and the world, explorers must rebuild the layered map and restore the geographic system.

This adventure blends map skills, spatial awareness, and global understanding with story-driven exploration.

• Borders – Lines that separate countries or regions
