2. You are a baby shark who just woke up from your hammerhead nap. You’re well-rested, even though you never stop moving. You have to make good choices to make sure you have enough food and make sure you stay alive! Decide carefully what to do next. Explore a nearby fishing net that is full of fish. Go visit with your brother and sister hammerheads swimming nearby. Swim far away to eat a bony fish swimming in the ocean.

3. The fish did not see you coming, and now you have a good snack. Gulp! But it was just one fish and you’re a growing shark. Decide what to do next. Go lower for a squid swimming deep in the ocean. Go lobster hunting.

4. You decide to go for a swim with your 100 brothers and sisters. It’s good to see them, and you hope for some shark kisses. Suddenly, you notice that Daddy Hammerhead has come to visit. What do you do next? Swim far away to eat a bony fish swimming in the ocean. Stay and visit with Daddy Hammerhead.

5. You decide to go for the fish in the net. There were hundreds of them, and your belly is full! Suddenly the net begins to go up, and you are pulled up over the surface. You realize you can’t get out, and you are pulled onto a fishing boat. You are dead. Go back to the beginning and start again. End the game.

6. You go down deep into the water to try to catch a squid, but then you notice that the water is feeling cold. You haven’t caught the squid though, so you hate to turn back now. You can decide to explore the ocean or maybe you can find a lobster higher up. It will be smaller but the water will be warmer. Choose now. Go down further for a squid. Turn back now for a lobster.

7. You decide to stay with the family and visit with Daddy Hammerhead. You begin to hear a scary sound – Snap, snap! He is hungry! He is circling around you and then he started snapping his teeth again. Snap, snap, gulp! He gulps you down. Go back to the beginning and start again. End the game.

8. You decided to hunting for a lobster instead. You managed to find one, but then he pinched you on the nose and escaped! Now you’re nose hurts and you’re still hungry. But you’re also getting sleepy. Maybe a rest would help you have energy for a bigger hunt later on. Go to warm calm water for a rest. Go hunting for a seal to eat.

9. You go down deep into the ocean. The water is getting colder, and now it’s starting to get dark, too. You notice it’s getting harder to move, and you still haven’t found a snack. Now you don’t have enough energy to keep swimming. You’re cold and hungry, and starting to go slowly. Finally you stop and you can’t make your way back up. End the game. Go back to the beginning and start again.

10. You decided to go hunting for a baby seal. You got lucky, and found a fishing boat. Near the fishing boat is a net full of fish, just waiting to be eaten. A seal is interested in the net, too, but he can swim away if you try to eat him. What is the best choice? Eat the fish in the net. Eat the baby seal.

11. You decide to go for the baby seal. You have to chase him but you catch him. It was tasty and delicious. Now you have a choice. Go back for the fish in the net. Dive deep to look for a squid to eat. Go take a rest in the warm calm water.

12. You are getting sleepy, and you decide to get a nap. You find a patch of warm water near a great vent. You nap, but you never stop moving. You dream about what shark adventures you will have when you wake up again. The end. Go back to the start and play again. End your adventure.

13. Thanks for playing!
