Happy New Year! I’ve not seen the one in Auckland – is it a giant squid? How is it displayed?
You should come down and see the colossal too :)

I saw the one in Auckland at the seaworld, near mission bay… but wow!

We’ll track down the eldest squidling – but might have to wait until those on the team are back from their summer break.

And no – Te Papa doesn’t close – you can come and see us any day of the year! Big ups to all those who are working these holidays :-)

The build a squid game is very enjoyable.
How old is the oldest (built) squid in this game? How far has it travelled? How much weight, if any, has it put on?

Where is he/she now? If you give its name it would be fun for others to track.

Also, about the life-span; I see many entries that are 0 days old. Doesn’t make much sense to me, as I’m almost certain that Te Papa is closed for the holiday?

How long will my squid live? Do they get taken down after a certain period of inactivity?

Also, thank you to the creator. What a lovely idea!
