Grab your camera and dive into an aquarium to photograph fish before the moment passes. It is a real-time reaction and memory game where you have to spot the right creature and shoot it within a short window. The boards have interchangeable parts, so the underwater scene changes between games.

Who it's for

Households with a four or five-year-old who cannot yet sit through turn-based games but loves searching pictures.

Not for you if…

You have children of noticeably different ages at the table, since the fastest eyes simply win. Real-time pressure upsets some kids, and there is nothing here that holds an adult's interest.

Vibe's take

Heads down, eyes darting, then a scramble of hands. Nobody waits their turn, so the energy stays high the whole time.
