How to Play Arctic Tale
Quick start
Start a new game as the polar bear cub and explore around the den. Follow the early ice slide into the wider area, then use dens to select the animal required by each challenge. Earn medals to open the route onward.
Controls
Use the Control Pad to move through the landscape and follow each minigame’s displayed action prompts. Return to a den to change animals. Orca races switch the character automatically; their inputs are handled within that activity.
Arctic Tale — About this game
A polar bear cub’s first trip outside its den leads into a frozen landscape of exploration and short challenges. Return to dens to switch among the bear, Arctic fox and walrus, each needed for different activities. Medals earned in minigames open further areas, and paw icons add a collection to seek along the way. Orca races briefly change the playable animal before returning you to your explorer.
