Game development company Fantastec has created an online 3D game, PolarHeroes, for children aged 4 to 8. The game begins with terrible news: Christmas is endangered and players embark on an exciting journey in order to save Christmas and become PolarHeroes.
PolarHeroes provides adventures and fun games for children in a 3D virtual world; alongside the fictional plot set in various snowy villages, the game features dozens of educational mini games. PolarHeroes and its mini games teach children early reading skills, social and cultural skills, geography, languages and even mathematics. The different villages of the 3D world provide a virtual playground in Winter Wonderland and support learning in a fun way.
PolarHeroes is a massive multiplayer online game. It is set in Finnish Lapland and features replicas of existing destinations such as Levi and Iso-Syöte skiing resorts and Kemi Snow Castle. Father Christmas also has big role in PolarHeroes; one of the game's 3D villages is Father Christmas's home where he can be seen flying with Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.
PolarHeroes features many exciting adventures and players can ride reindeers, motor skis, build virtual homes and even nurse virtual pets. The game provides a fun, safe and educational environment for children and parents alike.
PolarHeroes has been developed by a Finnish 3D game company, Fantastec Ltd., together with several Lapland travel organisations and game companies.
