It seems like lately every time I go to one of our computers one of the girls runs over to beg me to not turn off their game. After a few days of this I decided to actually check what game they have been playing. They have been playing Sharkrunners on the Discovery Channel website. At first I did not pay much attention to it. I just left it minimized. Then I would check on it once in awhile because it seemed like nothing ever happened. Finally this morning I got to the computer to find the screen said that a shark was in range. It asked me what I wanted to do. I looked around to find that the girls were all asleep still. So I sent a three person dive team to explore. Then another shark was in range and I did it again.

By this time the girls started to wake up and see me playing the game. They naturally wanted to check on their game. I found myself not wanted to give up the game. I guess I am started to like it. It seems pretty neat. It is an on going game but the best part is that the game continues even if you do not have it on. It even emails you if you are not playing and a shark is in range. There is even a leader board of people competing around the world.

Sharkrunners

Sharkrunners is a game of oceanic exploration and high stakes shark research. Players take on the role of sharkrunners: daring and adventurous marine biologists who seek to learn as much as possible about sharks through advanced observation techniques.

Real-world telemetry data provides the position and movement of actual great white sharks in Sharkrunners, every shark that players encounter corresponds to a real shark out in the actual ocean.
