The penguin games have started – you can win a gold medal if you participate.

Start by clicking in the medai in the upper right:

This pops up the instructions for the race:

Click on continue to start the event. Then waddle on to the Ski Village and move to the start position for the marathon:

Wait until you get the countdown 3-2-1 and Go!

As you move off the beacon will light up – follow the arrows and remember to STOP at the every beacon that you come across along the course. if you miss a beacon you need to go back to light it otherwise you won’t be able to finish the event.

Hint: I sometimes found that some of the beacons won’t light up so I would need to go back to last room and come back again – I’m not sure if it’s just me or if there are some bugs that CP need to squash.

The events take you through these rooms:  ski village, beach, dock, town, snow Fort, plaza, forest and the cove where you cross the finish line for the first event.

When you finish the event you are declared the winner and the events pop-up window shows up, with a tick next to the event you complete.

Once you have finished the marathon move to the Iceberg where you will need to complete 3 laps of the iceberg itself. Again, waiti for 3-2-1 countodwon and move off at GO! As you go round the laps the beacons will light up and you become a winner when you have done 3 full laps!

When you have finished the pop-up window will show up again, ready for your last challenge: the swimming contest:

There two beacons to light at each end of the pool – wait for the go signal and swim across the pool five times – the display board will show how many laps you have done.

Hint: I find it easier to swim at the bottom end of the pool – along the edge nearest to you in the picture – you can see me on the bottom-right of the screen – that way you avoid other penguins and it makes the race a lot easier.

When you have finished and the display board shows “winner” the pop-up will appear once more and you can claim your gold medal:

Well done!
