Sea Search
The classic naval grid search game reimagined for young explorers — 100% advert-free, subscription-free, and flight-ready.
Embark on a sunny ocean expedition! Secretly arrange your five friendly explorer vessels across the 10×10 coastal sea map, then take turns calling out coordinates to search for the hidden fleet. Water splashes reveal open sea while bright marker pegs show discovered vessels. Play solo against a gentle, adjustable computer captain or pass the tablet back and forth with a friend or parent in local Pass & Play mode with a built-in privacy blocker screen. Zero adverts, zero countdown timers, and zero microtransactions.

How to Play Sea Search
Simple, timeless rules that children and adults can pick up in seconds.
Position your fleet
Arrange your 5 friendly explorer vessels across your 10×10 sea map. Tap to rotate ships horizontally or vertically.
Pass the device
In 2-player mode, hand the device to your opponent when the privacy blocker screen appears to keep secret coordinates safe.
Scan ocean coordinates
Tap any coordinate on the radar grid to search the open waters. Water ripples mark open sea; orange pegs mark found vessels.
Discover all 5 vessels
Use deductive reasoning to map vessel lengths and be the first explorer to locate all five ships to win the expedition.
What Skills Does Sea Search Teach?
Beyond simple fun, classic connection and word games provide essential developmental milestones.
Coordinate Geometry & 2D Spatial Mapping
Children develop intuitive Cartesian coordinate literacy, correlating lettered rows (A–J) and numbered columns (1–10) to pinpoint spatial positions across a 2D matrix.
Deductive Reasoning & Probability Elimination
Encourages systematic logic rather than random tapping — once a vessel coordinate is found, young brains probe adjacent cardinal directions to deduce ship orientation.
Turn-Taking & Trustful Screen Sharing
Sharing a single device with the privacy blocker screen nurtures patient turn-taking, honesty, mutual respect, and graceful attitudes toward winning and losing.
Built-in Parental Controls
Simple, parent-to-parent reassurances for absolute peace of mind. You retain full control over how and when they play.
Just for grown-ups
A simple 6-digit PIN keeps the settings safely locked away from curious little fingers.
Healthy limits, happy play
Set a daily time limit that works for your family. Once the time is up, the app gently steps in so you don't have to be the bad guy.
Grow with them
Easily adjust the single-player difficulty. Keep Sea Search gentle for beginners, or step up the challenge as they learn and grow.
Track their time
A straightforward daily tracker lets you see exactly how long they’ve been playing today, taking the guesswork out of screen time.
