Voyage Signal
Ocean Explorers Animal Adventure Pack
Something is disrupting the natural paths of ocean travelers.
Across the seas, migration routes are shifting, exploration patterns are breaking down, and animals that rely on long-distance travel are being pushed off course. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance deep beneath the waves and needs explorers to investigate.
In Voyage Signal, students explore animals that travel, navigate, and investigate the oceans using sound, memory, buoyancy, and natural signals. As they move through open ocean routes, coastal hubs, and deep reef chambers, students use real animal knowledge to restore navigation systems and work toward unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.
This adventure transforms animal science into a story-driven mission focused on exploration, migration, and survival.
