Compass & Tide is a small, local Mornington Peninsula business founded in 2025 by a parent creating screen-free, place-based games and activity products for families. Designed to spark curiosity and connection, the range celebrates local landscapes and landmarks through play — bringing families and friends together while encouraging conversation, shared memories and a deeper connection to place.
At the heart of the range is The Mornington Peninsula Board Game. Designed for ages 7+, it’s perfect for family play, encouraging friendly competition and connection to place. Once the kids are in bed, it’s just as enjoyable for grown-ups too — best shared with friends, laughter and perhaps a glass of wine or two.
For younger explorers, The Mornington Peninsula Discovery Journal is the perfect summer holiday companion for children aged 7–12. Blending outdoor activities, creative prompts, reflection and engaging puzzles, it encourages kids to explore their surroundings, record memories and build a deeper connection to nature and place. It’s equally suited to locals wanting to see their home through fresh eyes and visitors creating meaningful holiday keepsakes.
Whether you’re looking for a screen-free family activity, a thoughtful local gift, or a way to inspire children to explore the Peninsula with curiosity and care, Compass & Tide offers playful, meaningful experiences designed to be shared — this summer and beyond.
