Asteroid nudge
DART
In 2022, NASA's DART spacecraft crashed into a tiny asteroid moon called Dimorphos on purpose, and changed its orbit. It was the first test of how we could nudge an asteroid away from Earth!

Every board space and minigame is a doorway to something real that explorers have actually done. Here's a peek at the kind of Space Fact cards you'll find in the game.

This spacecraft grabbed rocks and dust from the asteroid Bennu and sent them back to Earth in 2023, so scientists can study material from the early solar system.

NASA's Artemis program is sending astronauts back to the Moon to explore more of it than ever before, and to learn how to get ready for Mars.

Jupiter's moon Europa probably has a giant salty ocean under its icy shell. NASA's Europa Clipper launched in 2024 to find out more.

People have lived aboard the International Space Station since 2000. It zooms around Earth about every 90 minutes, so the crew sees about 16 sunrises a day!

The Perseverance rover has been exploring Mars since 2021, collecting rock samples. Its little helicopter buddy, Ingenuity, made the first powered flight on another planet.

Galaxy Surfer Studios is a family game studio. We make the games we want to play together on game night: cute, a little silly, and full of the wonder of space. Here's our crew, in their explorer alter-egos.
GM: General Manager & Grand Marshal
A swashbuckling sun-pirate captain in a long sunburst coat, with a golden compass that doubles as a treasure scanner. Charming, protective and full of Irish swagger, he cracks dad jokes mid-adventure and calls his crew "me little stars."
Chief Navigator & Treasure Whisperer
A sparkly green explorer from the glowing nebulae of Verdantia-9. Her antennae sense cosmic currents, hidden wormholes and secret shortcuts (and ice cream in the galley). Optimistic, a little mischievous, and always ready to high-five the crew.
Chief Scout & Nature Whisperer
A cheerful forest-elf scout with a glowing leafy headband, sparkling emerald earrings and a gentle, friendly smile.
Morale Booster & Magic Map Reader
A bubbly unicorn girl from the Crystal Meadows of the Nebula Isles, whose rainbow horn lights up hidden star maps. She's the crew's official "happiness officer," and she loves silly treasure songs, encouraging hugs and sharing sparkly snacks.
Our origin story
In September 2024, our family's photo flew aboard the Polaris Dawn mission through the "My Face in Space" program, and it showed up in a video recorded in orbit.
Seeing that picture floating above Earth made the universe feel close enough to touch. That's the feeling we want every family to get from our games: space belongs to all of us, and the next generation of explorers might be sitting on your couch right now.
To the cosmos, and beyond! 🚀
We're building Galaxy Surfer Party right now. Follow along for behind-the-scenes peeks, space facts and launch news.
