Swamps 'N' Gators Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive. This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil. But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organisation run by kids,

that investigates anything strange, weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

Olive! Otto! In your office.

Wait, did she say in OUR office?

Yes. There you two are. Something very odd has happened.

This is Mrs Kansas.

Whenever you're ready, ma'am.

-The problem is my son.

-Milton?

-No, Bradley.

He made this board game called Swamps 'N' Gators

and now he won't stop playing it.

-That doesn't sound very odd.

-Oh, no, no. It's the way he's playing it.

We should come to your house and see this game.

-Now?

-Mm-hm.

But I have relatives coming,

and we're getting the carpets cleaned, and I have a book club...

Could you come by in, say, three weeks?

-Sure.

-No problem.

DOORBELL RINGS

-Has it been three weeks already?

-Yup.

-Because, if I can have an extra day and a half, that...

-Ma'am. Please.

OK. This is my son.

-Bradley, this is Olive and Otto from Odd Squad.

-Odd Squad?

There is nothing odd going on here, OK?

I just built this machine to zap me in and out of this board game

I put in here. OK, now that I say that out loud,

I can see how somebody might interpret that as odd.

And dangerous.

-And awesome!

-Thank you, Otto.

At least somebody appreciates that I never play outside.

It's called Swamps 'N' Gators. Hey, let me show you how much fun it is.

Whoa!

Otto, I have a feeling we're not in the Kansas' living room any more.

-Hey, guys.

-Brad, what did you do?

-You said it looked like fun.

-No, you said that.

Well, somebody said it.

-This has gone way too far. I'm going to make dinner.

-Dinner?!

-At a time like this?

-I know, it's kind of weird, eh?

Mom likes to cook when she gets nervous.

This one time, I zapped our dog into the board game.

We had Thanksgiving dinner for a week!

Brad, we don't have time for this right now.

Tell us how to get out of here.

Well, it's easy. The square you're on is both start and finish.

You just go around the entire board, and land on that square again,

-and you're home free.

-Oh.

But I can't move from this square!

Well, yeah, it's a board game. You have to roll dice to move. Come on.

Are you saying we have to play this entire game to get out?

-That's awesome!

-That's the spirit, Otto.

Now just make sure you guys finish before the timer runs out

so you don't get trapped in there forever.

BOTH: What?

I said, "Make sure you finish the board game before

"the timer runs out, so you don't get trapped in there forever."

Brad, why on earth would you make a game that does that?

I had to make it challenging.

Maybe next time, get stuck in a game called Easy Peasy,

where you just roll the dice and you win. "Oh, that sounds fun!

"Let's go over to Brad's house to play Easy Peasy!" Come on.

-You know, he makes a good point.

-Thank you, Otto. Now, you guys...

You'd better get rolling.

Come on, 12. Come on.

One, two, three?

Hey, why is there a mosquito on this square?

Oh, that's Mosquito Alley. You guys are going to love it.

MOSQUITOES BUZZ

-I don't love it! Olive, roll, quick!

-Rolling.

OK, this die has two dots on one side,

and two dots on the other side, and I know that two plus two is four.

And this die looks just like the other die, so it's the same, four.

And four plus four equals...

EIGHT!

Oh, bonus square, bonus square! Pick a card, any card.

I'm just joking,

-you have to take the one that the gator gives you.

-Gator?

"Dance with the gator."

FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS

OK, that's kind of cool.

This is so unfair.

Come on, big numbers.

Look how the dots are laid out. It'll help you remember.

Hm. Three dots are in a diagonal line. That's easy to remember.

And this die has one less dot, which is two.

Three plus two is FIVE!

-Wow, the music is really loud here.

-I know! Awesome, huh?!

Olive, you know we're trying to get out of this thing, right?

See you later. MUSIC STOPS

Grab a bonus card, partner.

-"Plus One."

-Oh, that's a great card.

-Did you get a haircut?

-Oh, I see.

Just cos you're stuck in a board game,

everybody else's life has to be put on hold, OK.

Brad, what does this "Plus One" card do?

Oh, you can use it to go an extra square at any time.

Like, if you used it now, you could go to another Mosquito Alley.

No, no, no. I'll save it for later.

My roll.

"Play badminton with the gator."

"Tropical storm." Oh, no!

Waah!

"Have tea with the gator."

"Wrestle the gator."

FOUR!

This game is awesome.

SPITS OUT LIQUID

You're not the one that had to drink swamp water.

Look, there's the end square!

We only need to move one, two, three, four, five.

We need to roll a five.

Come on, five. Come on, five.

One and one. But that's only TWO!

-Vines?

-Yeah, there's vines. There's vines everywhere.

-Oh, vines!

-Maybe I should have called this Vines 'N' Gators.

I like vines. Vines. Vines.

You ever say a word so much that it just doesn't sound like

a word any more? Vines. Vines. Vin-es.

Vines, vines, vines, vines, vines.

Olive, please roll so I can get out of this thing.

You bet, partner.

Come on, five. Come on, five.

Olive, the dots on that die are in a diagonal line. That's a three.

You remembered! I'm impressed.

Three on that die, and two on this one. Three plus two equals FIVE!

(Olive?)

-Woohoo! I won the game!

-Great job, Olive.

-Great game, Brad.

-I like that it's strategy, but also luck.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Instead of teleporting the person in...

-Guys, I'm still stuck in here.

BOTH: Sorry.

I'm running out of time!

Otto, you can do it.

You just need to roll a - one, two - three to get out.

Come on, three. Come on, three.

Two and two. That equals FOUR!

Oh, no! I went too far! What do I do?

You definitely can't go backwards.

Are you saying Otto has to play the entire game AGAIN to get out?

You say that like it's not the most amazing thing ever.

Did you see the Mosquito Alleys?

BOTH: It's not! Look at the timer!

Oh, boy. OK. Now I feel bad about going out and getting my hair cut.

Otto, now that I'm out of the game, you can just keep rolling.

So roll, like you've never rolled before!

Otto, just look at how they're laid out. This die has four dots,

and this die looks just like the four die, but with one more dot

in the middle, and you know that four plus one is five.

And four plus five equals NINE!

Nice one, partner. Roll again.

Come on, big numbers.

Two plus one is THREE!

Swamp bees?!

One plus three is FOUR!

Agh, swamp butterflies!

-Oh, that's kind of nice though.

-Mm.

Two plus three is FIVE!

Bonus card.

"Go back three spaces."

Agh, swamp bees and swamp butterflies!

Otto, you're only four spaces away from the end.

You need to roll a four.

Please be a four. Please be a four.

Two, plus...

..one!

It's THREE!

Oh, so close. I just need to roll a one.

But I can't roll a one, because I have two dice.

Otto, the timer!

I have a "Plus One" card!

By the power of ONE!

You have to say "Plus One" for it to work.

Plus One.

BOTH: Yes! We did it!

Oh, amazing! You guys want me to zap you into this board game next?

-BOTH: No!

-Are you guys hungry?

BOTH: Yes.

Will your friend be staying, too?

Gary!
