At the start of The FriendShip, two Explorers are out at sea when they receive the mysterious distress call that [spoiler alert] is also heard in the beginning of We Were Here Together. After pursuing the signal, the Explorers stumble upon a deserted island where an abandoned amusement park filled with puzzling trials awaits them. These challenges require partners to work together, one way or another. It’s time for both experienced Explorers and uninitiated newcomers to grab their walkie-talkies and start solving these puzzles!

Unlike the previous games, The FriendShip offers a more casual experience where the focus lies not on escaping but on having fun together and testing the strength of your friendship. This bite-sized standalone We Were Here adventure is the perfect starting point for anybody curious about the series and is all about Communication, Teamwork and Trust!

How well the Explorers succeed in overcoming these brain-teasing challenges directly affects the state of their (friend)ship, which will visually reflect the score awarded for their teamwork. Explorers can show off the proof of whether their friendship stood tall in the face of such brain-racking adversity via a shareable and personalized, animated end-screen. Failure is not the end and instead offers an opportunity for improvement, since Explorers can attempt the puzzles as many times as they like. Veteran Explorers can grab this chance to achieve the perfect score and show off their communication and puzzling skills!

NOTE: This game is co-op only. It requires both players to have a working compatible microphone and an internet connection.
