As the host of the conservation TV show WildWorld, you’re currently in the Galápagos Islands filming a special in order to bring attention to the plight of the endangered Galápagos Penguin. Suddenly, your production tent is ransacked. Your hopes of helping the penguins are in jeopardy and time is running out to complete your production. Who did this? What are their motivations? You’ll have to act quickly to solve puzzles, fix equipment, and navigate the island in order to finish your show and help save the Galápagos Penguin
Galápagos Penguins, title #1 in the Endangered Rescue line, is an escape room-style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.
When you have solved a puzzle, you will enter the answer into the companion web app (compatible with all smartphones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the app will tell you which card or cards to take next.
The app also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.
Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required.
Most groups take about an hour to solve the game. You can write on the cards to help solve puzzles, but this is not required (or you could use penny sleeves) and the game is otherwise non-destructible. So while you can't play again yourself, you could give the used game to someone else to play.
