Lil Gator Game: turn an island into a make-believe adventure

Lil Gator Game

Moving is a pleasure, not merely a means to an objective. Reviews enjoy movement itself with this little gator. Getting around the island becomes play in itself.

Return to childhood make-believe with grown-up eyes. Reviews are moved by its imagined adventure and story of growing up. Light play can become an invitation to remember a younger self or someone close.

What makes it fun

  1. Make-believe detours

    Swing a stick at grass and knock down cardboard enemies as you roam the island. Even the trip to find friends becomes part of the kids’ make-believe game.

  2. Craft something to try

    Use the scraps you collect to make costumes and equipment. Certain gear changes how the gator moves, giving you something new to try as you explore.

  3. Build an adventure with friends

    Help the kids you meet and invite them to the playground, where their make-believe adventure grows. Exploring the island also means finding out what each new friend wants to play.
