WHY CHOOSE THIS ONE

What makes this story different

Navigator, Observer and Recorder each contribute a different kind of evidence.

The route, observation cards and record order feed into one captain's report.

The game uses invented locations and needs no real marine-science knowledge.

BEFORE YOU PLAY

Simple paper setup

Print the Player Pack for your groups and read the Teacher Guide first. Ordinary paper and pens are enough to begin. Where cards have borders, the adult can cut them apart or keep them on the original page for players to compare and mark.

A teacher guides each checkpoint, distributes role clues and checks the group’s conclusion. No special equipment or digital account is needed by children.

Current PDF pages7 Player Pack pages + 7 Teacher Guide pages in each paper size (v0.1 file set).

Copies to preparePrint one complete Player Pack per playing group and keep one Teacher Guide for the adult. Use the same A4 or US Letter size for both files.

TimingPreparation and play time will be added after physical print and real-group checks.

These are PDF page counts, not a final printer-sheet promise. Check the files before you print for a group.
