The Bear Who Touched The Northern Lights
a choose-your-adventure story puzzle

C$36

Best for kids 4 years old and up.

The Bear Who Touched The Northern Lights is an interactive story puzzle for little humans! Part puzzle, part animated story, with a dash of choose-your-own-adventure and a lot of Augmented Reality fun! The puzzle is made of 16 pieces, each illustrated to represent a chapter in the journey of a little polar bear who dreams of playing with the Northern Lights. Once the puzzle is completed, the story visually emerges…but that’s not all! Using our companion app (on a phone or tablet), kids can scan each puzzle piece and listen and watch the story come to life, with animations and narration in Augmented Reality. There is also a choose-your-own-adventure aspect to this puzzle, as some pieces are optional, and others come in 2 versions, depicting different paths our little bear could take.
