Meet Mark & Mark.
Weird N.J. is a travel guide and magazine to places you won't find on state-funded maps or tourist pamphlets. Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman travel the backroads of the Garden State in search of local unwritten history and modern folklore.
Their main goal is to record what people remember as weird or odd in their own town, from a lawn full of bowling balls to an abandoned Nike missile base in your backyard. Many of the sites can actually be visited. Some are told only in legend.

Good to know.
How much does the app cost?
Weird NJ is $9.99, one time, with no subscription. It includes Data Pak-01 with 84 of New Jersey's strangest places, the Weird Map, the category browser and the Passport. Extra Data Paks, the three Weird Games and the Road Trip card decks are optional one-time purchases inside the app.
How does the Passport work?
Turn on location tracking and visit a Weird NJ location in person. When you arrive within the geo-fenced radius, the app stamps your Passport automatically. Passports need a free account, so your stamps and leaderboard rank are saved.
What are Data Paks?
Data Paks are optional in-app purchases that unlock more locations. The app includes Pak-01 (84 locations). Paks 02, 03 and 04 add 84, 82 and 66 more, for 316 locations in all.
Does it work offline?
Downloaded Data Pak content works offline, so you can read about a place with no signal. The Weird Map, Featured Locations and News & Events need an internet connection.
How do I submit a location?
Create a free account, then open My Locations from the Locations menu to send in a place, with a description and an optional photo. Submissions are reviewed before anything is added.
