Night at the Zoo

Draft tiles to guide escaped zoo animals back before dawn.

Published by

Zoo animals have snuck out for the night and each moves in its own peculiar way, so you draft and place tiles to build a route home before the keepers notice.

Who it's for

Players who like spatial puzzles with an animal theme and a short runtime.

Not for you if…

You want direct interaction rather than everyone solving their own board.

Vibe's take

Playful and puzzly – you spend the whole game tracing routes with your finger, and every animal's quirky movement makes an obvious tile suddenly wrong.
