GAME MODE
In this game you build a maze. The aim is to guide your Sidekick
through the maze as quickly as possible.
Here's how:
1. In your kit, you will find 15 maze cards and two cards
that define the start and end points. Use them to build
a maze. Define a start point and an end point, and add in the
walls. Your maze could look something like this, for example.
(The walls are shown to be lying flat, but you actually need to
bend the tabs of the walls and stand them upright.)
2. Now switch to the "Game" tile in the Sidekick app and to the
"Game Maze" tab. This window opens:
Forward
Backward
3. Move your Sidekick to the start point and press the Play key. The stopwatch starts, and
you must try to steer your Sidekick through the maze as quickly as possible. When you
reach the end point, press the Stop key. But be careful: during the race, you must not
get too close to the maze walls. If you do, the Sidekick will make a sound and a sad
face and is blocked for a few seconds (first 5 seconds, then 7 seconds, and finally 10
seconds) before it continues.
6. If your time is one of the top five, you can add your name to the rankings.
7. Now, it's your friend's turn to play. Have fun!
