How To Play

Overview

How many hidden objects can you find under the sea? The clock is ticking, so look carefully and collect as many objects as you can. Find power-ups, gather gold coins, and avoid penalty objects to maximize your score.

Collect goal objects

Search the ocean floor for the goal objects shown at the bottom of your screen. Once you find a goal object, tap it to collect it. There’s a time limit, so look carefully and act quickly. Speed is the name of the game, but make sure to avoid tapping the wrong objects. That will deduct five seconds from your total time. To win, you’ll need to rack up a higher score than your opponent.

Maximize points with interactive objects

Look out for other interactive objects that can help you maximize your score. Gold coins are an easy way to gain quick points. You can also tap treasure chests, barrels, and lobster traps to see what treasures they contain. You might luck out and uncover gold coins or goal objects! Sometimes interactive objects release their treasure contained in a large, blue bubble. Want an easy way to spot interactive objects? Look for objects that wiggle or release streams of small bubbles.

Play With Power-Ups

During your search, collect power-ups to boost your score, save time, and help you spot hard-to-find objects.

Standard games

Standard games are broken into five rounds, with a five-minute time limit overall. Each round, you’ll be presented with a new set of goal objects to find. Once all the goal objects for that round are found, you’ll be transitioned to a new scene under the sea to begin the next round.

As you progress through the rounds, you’ll have more goal objects to find.

Round one

Two goal objects

Round two

Three goal objects

Round three

Four goal objects

Round four

Five goal objects

Round five

Six goal objects

As the screen transitions from one round to the next, you can still tap on items to earn points. Be on the lookout for goal objects and gold coins. Make sure to tap on interactable objects to see what treasures they contain.

Meander mode

In Meander mode, the goal is the same as Standard mode but the game isn’t broken into rounds. You’ll have a rotating list of goal objects to find, and you’ll continuously move around the ocean floor.

Make sure to check interactable objects that wiggle or have bubbles coming out of them for potential hidden treasures. Use the submarine button to move faster and increase your time bonus.

Tips

•  Zoom in and out by pinching the screen. Drag your finger to pan while zoomed in.

•  In Standard mode, when transitioning, make sure to collect interactive objects, goal objects, and coins.

•  Use the rusted clock to give yourself more time to scope the floor. Complete the game early to earn a time bonus.

•  Scope out the ocean floor before activating the XXX bottle to maximize the x3 bonus.
