Could going to substitute will here?

Hello all

Would it be possible to use going to instead of will in all of these sentences? Would it change the meaning?

"Sara will get dropped in a strange city with 20 dollars and a map. We will write riddles to lead them to the goal. And there they will find a giant party."

I found this on Facebook. My friend Sara did a quiz and this was a result.

Thank you very much Emotion: smile

Thank you very much for your fast response.

Once again I would like to thank you for you correcting my English. I wasn't quite sure whether or not there should have been something after the word "substitute".

"substitute" and "replace" are often confusing. It's "substitute for" and "replace with".
