What it is
As the sun sets over the lagoon, little boats wait in the mist with their lanterns off. Name a square by its column letter and row number, like C4, and shine the lighthouse beam there. Find part of a boat and its lantern glows, and you shine again. Light more lanterns than Olly and friends, solve lighthouse logic puzzles with row and column clues, or race a friend across the same lagoon.
What children learn
For fun, practising grid coordinates (letter and number), plus logical thinking with row and column clues. PlayTime games keep stars but are not counted as learning evidence.
What it teaches
- Turn-based strategy
How to play
Tap a square to shine the beam, or type its name (a letter, then a number) and press Enter. Arrow keys also move around the lagoon. Easy levels mark squares that must be water.
