Marigold Marsh

Riff visits Brightwater Corners every summer. Over the years he has observed many changes in Marigold Marsh. Visitors help Riff: figure out the sources of the marsh's pollution and how to stop future pollution at Clean It Up, investigate Brightwater Corners' water quality at Mucky Waters, and clean Mr. Slaptail's water at the 3-D Water Puzzle.

Clean it up - Remove pollutants from the water before they reach Riff and Rosie's swimming hole.

Fishing for Clues - Use fishing poles to fish out clues to why the marsh is polluted.

Mucky Waters - Gather samples from the well and take them to the analyzer to investigate what is in Brightwater Corners' water.

Fillin' Up Riff - Turn the handle and watch the water beads move from the drinking glasses to Riff's body.
