  • Survival
  • Co-op
  • Adventure

Shrunk to the size of an ant, four kids survive in a back garden that becomes a giant jungle. Terrifying spiders, bases built from blades of grass and a story that explains what happened.

Why play it now

When you want survival with friends, with an adventurous tone and 90s-film humour.

Who it's for

For groups looking for building, exploration and the odd scare (there's an arachnophobia mode).

When not to pick it

If you're afraid of spiders and don't want to turn on the mode that tones them down.
