Based on the popular book, this game sends you under the waves in search of matches and a mysterious giant squid. Memory, planning and a little gear choice decide who surfaces with the prize.

  • Four wooden submersible movers explore a vibrant game board
  • Pick the right gear token at the start of each trip or hit an obstacle and head back to the surface
  • 16 pilot goal tiles and 4 pilot mats track what you are looking for
  • Includes 45 board tiles, 8 gear tokens, a drawstring bag and an educational field guide
  • Meet sea creatures along the way, for 2 to 4 players ages 6 and up

How it plays at home

Each trip starts with a gear choice, then you move through the board turning up tiles and trying to remember where matches are hiding. The first to find all the matches on a pilot map, or the last squid piece, wins.

It is a good fit for kids who love ocean life, and the field guide gives you something to read afterward. Tip: say each creature's name aloud when you flip it, and the whole table will remember the tile locations better.
