Outer Space Odyssey: Solar System and Space Adventure

Blast off on a mission beyond Earth.

This is not an ordinary space kit.

Outer Space Odyssey combines real specimen excavation, an interactive space adventure, an escape room, a scavenger hunt, a treasure hunt, collectible characters, trading cards, a mission map, and an online educational experience—all across the solar system.

Young explorers launch from Earth and travel toward the Moon, planets, asteroid fields, and distant space stations.

But the Grumblins have disrupted the mission, scattered the Gemlets throughout the solar system, and damaged the navigation system.

To rescue them, kids must follow the star map, choose flight paths, solve planetary challenges, capture the Grumblins, and uncover real rocks, minerals, and fossils inside their Mystery Dig.

Every mission carries them farther into space and closer to defeating the final Grumblie and rescuing all ten missing Gemlets.

Along the way, kids explore the Sun, Moon, planets, gravity, orbits, asteroids, and the enormous distances of our solar system.

They are not simply memorizing planets.

They are traveling between them.
