Help! Someone is in danger at sea! Take to the water and save lives in the RNLI’s Storm Force Rescue game. Race against time to get to casualties and bring them back to safety before the time runs out. Inspired by the lifesaving work of the RNLI, choose from five characters as you tackle different rescue scenarios.

Just like an RNLI lifesaver, use your skills to navigate the challenging conditions on the back of a rescue board, an RNLI rescue watercraft, and three types of lifeboat. Face increasingly tough conditions, from rip currents and rocks to wailing winds and big waves. Can you get to the casualties in time?

Covering 5 exciting scenarios to play through, why not download the game today or learn more by visiting our dedicated RNLI webpage for more information.

Carlo Bardetti, crew members says:

‘During a break between a training session, I took 5 minutes to download and play the new ‘Storm Force Rescue’ game, and I really enjoyed it. I hope that this will be a great introduction to many water safety tips and the work our volunteers crew do every day of the year around the UK. Download it now and enjoy it like I do!’
