ANIMAL WELL:A large blue animal face and a smaller creature
A large blue animal face and a smaller creature1 / 10

Explore a labyrinth inhabited by creatures, using tools and your surroundings to move forward. Items have different uses, inviting observation and experimentation as you uncover secrets.

What makes it fun

  1. A toy can become a way forward

    You can throw the disc, but you can also ride it across a gap. Discovering what else a tool can do can turn a dead end into a path forward.

  2. Animal behavior is a clue

    Dogs give chase, and chameleons lash out with their tongues. Watching how creatures behave can reveal how they fit into a room's puzzle.
