Hidden Treasures of the Reef

About the game

Under the sea, a coral reef hides 22 animals and treasures: clownfish, sea turtle, seahorse, octopus, old anchor and treasure chest. In each dive, the bar at the bottom shows the ones to find, from 3 to 7 depending on the dive. The reef is wider than the screen, and other animals mix in to trick you. The twelve dives go from the coral garden to the shipwreck treasure, by way of the kelp forest and the blue cave. Every new friend you find joins your aquarium, where you can read its card: the octopus has eight arms, a starfish grows back a lost arm, and the seahorse dad carries the babies.

How to play

Find every animal asked for before your air tank runs out. With your finger or the mouse, tap an animal and slide to scroll the reef. On the keyboard: the arrow keys move the target, Space or Enter taps, I gives a hint, Escape or P pauses. Tapping the wrong animal costs 20 points and a little air. Finding them all without a hint gives 3 stars, with a hint 2, and at least half of them 1: one star opens the next dive. Over the 12 dives come camouflage, animals swimming behind seaweed, dark caves to explore with a lamp, and look-alikes.
