Kayaking back to Scotland from an important conference in Norway, outdoor daredevil Angus was capsized as he hit treacherous waters. Waking up on a rocky and deserted Island he saw nothing but sea, dolphins and a rusty and forgotten lighthouse. Climbing to the top of the lighthouse, Angus discovered a time worn Morse code transmitter. Luckily, Angus was well versed in Morse and sent out an S.O.S message, with little to no hope of getting a reply…
Meanwhile at Hive HQ, reports are circulating of a mysterious machine beeping away somewhere in the grounds of Eltham College...
Hive HQ is seeking a team of top marine biologists, with a knack for cracking codes, to lead an urgent rescue mission to bring Angus home! We’re bound to face some challenges along the way...we don’t even know WHERE Angus is! Can you help us decode messages to track his location? Angus knows NOTHING about the island he is stranded on. Do you have the skills to investigate the resources on the island, and teach him how to survive. Angus is completely ALONE! You will need to use your head and hands to learn all about the sea-dwelling creatures Angus is living with and hatch a rescue plan that will bring him back to safety. We need to act fast, the clock is ticking...
