Does your Sounds of the Seashore Magic Seashell sound faint or garbled? Ask an adult
to change the batteries. Using a screwdriver, remove the battery cover and replace the
batteries as shown inside the battery case.
If changing the batteries doesn’t fix your Magic Seashell, try turning it off and then on again. If
this doesn’t work, go to cranium.com/help. We value your input, and we’ll do our best to help!
Here are some more tips to keep your game safe and fun.
