Episode 1 - The Pilot
Welcome to Episode 1. Here is what we know so far.... Will and
Riya are painting the backdrop for the school play when Sam -
a ‘Spying Giraffe’ who can turn invisible, appears on the
painted backdrop. He speaks to Will and tells him that the
Night Zoo needs his help. Will doesn’t think twice… he is the
Night Zookeeper after all! He enters a portal but doesn’t realise
that Riya has seen it all happen, and follows him in!
Once in the Night Zoo, Will has to find the Penguin Professor
who has gone missing! They have many adventures on the
way, before discovering the Professor, who informs them that
the ‘Brown Colour Port’ is missing. This means all the colour
brown will disappear from the world! Unless our heroes can
save it...
Now it’s your turn! We have so many challenges for you here!
What animal hatches out of an egg that the team discover?
What does Will accidentally turn a Void monster into? What
animals do he and Sam meet in the zoo on this adventure?
Remember - The Zoo Needs You!
