The game world

The Redmaple Reach

A thousand lakes strung together by portage trails, under granite ridges and the reddest maples in the North. Nobody has mapped all of it, and every season brings new promotions for the crews who push furthest.

Illustrated map view of the Redmaple Reach: granite peaks to the north, a lake with islands and a canoe, a dashed portage trail between two lakes and a campsite with a tent and campfire under red maples
  1. N 1

    Granite Spine

    Bare peaks above the treeline where you spot the next lake before anyone else and pin it to the map.

  2. E 2

    Loonsong Lake

    A wide, calm lake dotted with islands. Mist at dawn, loons at dusk and the best fishing in the Reach.

  3. S 3

    Old Cedar Portage

    A muddy, root-tangled trail between two lakes. Carry the canoe together or nobody gets across.

  4. W 4

    Kettle Falls Camp

    The crew’s base under the reddest maples: a fire ring, a drying line and a trading post that never closes.

Meet the crew

Three seats in the canoe

A mapper, a navigator and a cook. Bring friends to fill the seats, or let the crew paddle with you.

Pip, a small striped chipmunk in a red bandana, holding a rolled map under one arm and smiling

Cartographer · eastern chipmunk

Pip

Pip never travels without a rolled map and a stub of pencil. Every bay you round and every trail you clear ends up in her sketches, and she shares them with the whole crew.

  • Carries: rolled map, pencil
  • Wears: red bandana
  • Crew skill: reveals hidden portages
Marlow, a black-and-white chequered loon with a red eye and a white captain’s cap, holding a wooden paddle

Navigator · common loon

Marlow

Marlow reads wind on the water like a book. He calls the strokes from the stern, finds the fastest line across any lake and has never once lost his captain’s cap overboard.

  • Carries: cedar paddle
  • Wears: captain’s cap
  • Crew skill: faster lake crossings
Juniper, a black bear with a tan muzzle and a huge orange backpack, holding a steaming blue enamel mug

Camp cook · black bear

Juniper

Juniper hauls the biggest backpack in the Reach and somehow still has room for blueberry bannock. Her fire keeps the crew warm, fed and ready for the next portage.

  • Carries: enormous backpack
  • Holds: enamel mug of cocoa
  • Crew skill: camp meals restore energy

  • The map-making is addictive

    I spent a whole evening naming islands on Loonsong Lake with my brother. Seeing our atlas fill in is the best part of every trip.

  • Juniper’s camp is so cosy

    Rain on the tarp, bannock on the fire, my friends arguing about which portage to take next. It’s the most relaxing co-op game I own.

  • Portages are a real team job

    You genuinely need everyone lifting together on Old Cedar. Chaotic and funny. I’d like a few more solo routes for quiet nights.

  • Marlow is the MVP

    With Marlow in the stern we crossed the big lake before the storm hit. That little cap stays on through everything.

  • Gorgeous autumn colours

    The red maples over the water at sunset look unreal. Phones get a bit warm on the busiest lakes but it runs well otherwise.

  • My kids and I play together

    Nothing scary, lots to discover, and everyone has a job in the canoe. The wildlife journal keeps my youngest busy for ages.

  • Wants more peaks

    Loved the lakes, but the Granite Spine felt short in the beta. Hoping launch adds more lookouts and longer climbs.

Questions before you push off

How do I claim the Welcome Offer?

Choose "Claim Now", type your email in the User Area and open the magic link we send. The offer is then held on your account and handed out in three drops: Day 1, Day 3 and Day 7 after launch.

Is it free to pre-register?

Yes. Pre-registration, the Welcome Offer and the game are free. We never ask for a card or any payment details.

Are Whirly Seeds worth any money?

No. Whirly Seeds and every other in-game item have no monetary value and can’t be exchanged for cash. They only unlock gear, outfits and camp upgrades inside Red Maple Adventurers.

When can I start paddling?

The game is in pre-registration and isn’t playable on this site yet. It launches with the First Portage Festival: we’ll email you on launch day, and your first drop will already be in your account.

Do I need friends to play?

Crews of two to four are the heart of the game, but you can also explore solo with Pip, Marlow and Juniper filling the other seats.

Which devices does it run on?
