Children’s game Captain Look published by Pegasus Spiele
Friedberg, January 28, 2026: The memory game Captain Look is now available at Pegasus Spiele. In this cooperative children’s game, players must memorize the details of a treasure map before they try to navigate to the right island by taking turns peering through a 3D telescope.
In Captain Look, which was on the Children’s Game of the Year recommendation list in 2025, up to six players aged five and up embark on a hunt for buried treasure. To get into the right treasure hunting mood, Gerard Ribas’ children’s game comes with 30 Klabautermann stories—folk tales related to the sea—that can be read before each game begins. Players must then memorize as many details as possible of the revealed island card by studying the treasure map for ten seconds. Now the journey begins!
In clockwise order, each player will take turns looking through the telescope, into which the assorted motif tiles had been randomly inserted at the start of the game. After they describe the motif they see, the group will decide together whether they believe this motif appeared on the original picture of their treasure island or not.
Once players have identified three motifs they believe can be found on the island they are looking for, they successfully land and their journey ends. It is only now that players check the original treasure map, to discover whether they successfully navigated to the correct destination. Of course, false clues were hidden in the telescope as well as pirates lurking at sea who attack with their cannons, making the journey even more difficult. Whenever a pirate flag appears in the telescope, players must roll the dice to see whether their ship is damaged by cannon fire!
This memory game with playful illustrations by Miguel Ramos is not only fun for children aged five and up but also offers challenges for older and more experienced players thanks to three different game variants. In the “totally normal” variant, the group must identify five motifs instead of just three to win the game, in the “super hard” variant 20 motif tiles are added to the telescope instead of ten, while in the “seal” variant a black-and-white island map is used instead of the full-colour one.
No matter which game mode the group chooses in Captain Look, players will both train their memory and learn the joys of working together on a search for hidden treasure in a playful and light-hearted way.
