Students answer questions correctly to collect treasure from the bottom of the ocean floor. Each piece of treasure is worth different amounts of points. The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the game!

In this fun and interactive digital game, students read the written time and match it to the correct analog clock face.
They will practise recognising o’clock and half past times while collecting treasure under the sea.
Each correct answer allows students to collect a valuable piece of treasure, with different treasures worth different points.
The engaging format encourages repeated practise while building confidence with early time-telling skills.

Who will collect the most treasure and become the champion of the sea?
