About Night at the Zoo, from BoardGameGeek:

"Just a little further, a bit higher, bro..." The cheetah gives the penguin a boost over the gate, while a confused wolf dashes past. "Look out, someone's coming!" Everyone freezes. After a moment of silence, a sloth calls from a tree: "All clear, move out!" The animals have secretly snuck out of the zoo at night-and now they're trying to find their way back. Help them return before the keepers notice! The goal of the game is to help the animals and guide them safely back into their home. Players explore parts of the darkened zoo to discover the best routes home. Each round, players draft tiles and place them on their boards, triggering special actions and building a path back for their animals. Every animal has its own unique way of moving and scoring points, making each game a new adventure! -description from the publisher
