Turtle Trek™ – Adventure with Friendly Turtle from SeaWorld® Kids

Released:  September 24, 2014

Join us for a Turtle Trek underwater swimming adventure! Dive under the ocean with your baby turtle and swim as far as you possibly can. Touch and tap to collect coins, discover treasure and meeting other sea animals. Watch out for those sharks or any other creatures that can stand in your way, those are the bad guys! Brought to you by SeaWorld Kids, where imagination meets nature, Turtle Trek is a fun and engaging learning game for all kids to experience an ocean adventure.

Tap your screen to hatch your baby turtle from its egg. The underwater adventure begins once your turtle is in the water and ready to go swimming! Hold one finger on the screen to guide your baby turtle through the water, hold two fingers to stop that turtle from running into the rocks. Quickly tap your finger on the screen to swim over the rocks and avoid the crabs, sharks and other sea creatures trying to get in your way. Trek through the water while listening to bubbly under the sea themed music. Be sure to keep your turtle on the bottom of the ocean to eat grass and gain more lives. Continue tapping the screen to jump up and collect more coins and treasure – when you discover treasure at the end of each level, you can meet and learn all about the other sea creatures you’ve met along the way!

Turtle Trek is a great way to keep your kids having fun, all while learning about nature and sea animals. Meet new friends, set new records and gain achievements all while splashing around under the sea.

Turtle Trek™ is an adorable app for any child interested in animals.  It is for both iOS and Android systems which means basically if you have a tablet you can get it!  The app is free to download but there are in-app purchases and a bigger version you can buy.  My family played around with the free version and so far we are fine with it.  It is basically a game where a turtle is swimming through the ocean but he has to avoid obstacles and pick up food.  The controls are easy, just tap your fingers to go or stop on the screen, my 3 year old had no problem doing this.  I love when games are easy enough for my kids to play and control by themselves.  It’s funny too how after playing this game my kids are talking about the different fish they “met” and different facts about them.  I think we will definitely be making a trip to our local aquarium until we can make it out to Sea World!  Oh and you don’t really die in the game if you loose, the turtle just falls asleep and then you start again.

There are different “missions” to accomplish and rewards earned.  Once earned the user can then buy new shells and such as rewards.

What is really cool though is real animal information is offered.  This is a great way to learn about real animals and still have fun in an app.  I like that it shows an actual picture of the animal rather than just an animated one.

Overall, this is a cute game to add to any app collection and best of all its free!  Then if your child really likes it you can expand on the app for more animals and features.  I like that the Free version though gives you a lot of features rather than just a small piece, forcing you to upgrade right away.  If you are going to Sea World anytime soon this app would really get your kids excited because it references animals at Sea World.
