About the Game

Take a break with Mia and zone out of the daily grind with chilled gameplay and absorbing wordplay. Work your way from simple to unusual and abstruse words in this brilliant, twisty, word finding puzzle game.

Help Mia call the lost animals home before nightfall by finding words that twist and turn across the board. With over one hundred and seventy thousand words and ninety thousand definitions you’ll be sure to learn some modern, esoteric and comic meanings as you try to beat your longest, rarest and highest scoring words. With ninety levels of word detective animal rescue in each of the three game types. Mia will help you out with words, parts of words or simply the length of words she can see. She’ll always do her best to help you but when she's out of words you're on your own...

With over 170,000 words and 90,000 definitions this game contains a wide variety of words and their meanings. We have removed a variety of words which were just too offensive for us, but if you find definitions of words offensive then this might not be the game for you.
