Geocache Description:


Wherigo inspired by Soviet digital game тайны океана from 1989.




Original game


"The octopus" used to be the second favourite game (after "Ну, погоди!" (1986) ) made by soviet company Электроника . The goal of the game is to dive to the treasure, grab as much as you can and bring it to the boat. The octopus is the real problem. It elongates the tentacles and tries to eat the careless diver. The game is over after losing 3 lives. He spent many hours with this game... See YouTube for more.

Cartridge


We replaced the danger of being eaten by the octopus with the real threat. The worst what can happen to you underwater is that you use all your oxygen. That's why you always have only 60 seconds for the treasure hunt. You have to reach the boat in this time limit, otherwise you lose a life. After returning to the boat, you gain 1 point for every second spent at the treasure. The number of dives is not limited. You finish the game by gaining 500 points. If you lose 3 lives, the game is over and you have to start again.

You can play anywhere you want. Find some space at least 30 m. wide. Select the Secret of the Ocean (NB) from the list. Then follow the instructions in the game. If you need help with the game contact us.
