The object of the game is for the players to seek out all of the Coventry Creatures. They will find them as different cards each housed in its own hutch. The players will collect different creature cards from the participating storefronts. Each card will depict a specific animal and information about its habitat. The players will be able to keep the critter cards they collect, and other prizes will be awarded.
