About this game

Little Explorers is a free expedition strategy game for kids ages 9-12. The route map starts hidden in fog: only your base camp and its neighbours are visible. Guide teams of explorers from camp to camp, uncover new stops and race a rival team across the wilderness.

This is the deepest of the Baboo conquest games. Spend explorers to scout hidden stops, raise a temporary shield, change a camp role, or mark brand-new trails and bridges between your camps. Captured stops can hide treasures - extra supplies, old maps, free shields or a free trail.

It all runs in the browser on tablet, phone or computer - no ads, accounts or chat, and an AI difficulty button to grow into. A great fit for kids who like exploring, managing little budgets and planning several moves ahead.

How to play

  1. Send explorers from your base camp: pick a camp with at least two, then tap or drag to a connected stop.
  2. Use Scout (3 explorers) to reveal foggy stops and hidden treasures nearby.
  3. Use Shield (5) to protect a camp, or Specialize (6) to change its role.
  4. Tap two of your camps that are not linked to mark a new trail (7 explorers).
  5. Explore and capture every stop before the rival team does.
