3D TidePool is an interactive educational game that shows the 12 hour cycles of high-low-high tides in a tide pool. The game lets children (and adults) explore the 3D tide pool and its inhabitants in action – when touched, each creature (crab, eel, hermit crab, sea anemone, sculpin, octopus or starfish) will move and perform. The story follows these animals hour by hour and a narration provides background on each creature. The game is truly 3D – you can view the pool from the top, from a 45 degree angle or from the side to better see the animals in their hiding places. A small video window plays videos to enhance the educational experience.
3D TidePool also features an interactive Quiz that lets class or children compete for a high score.
