SPEEDOLINO Polar Night

An entertaining memory and tactile game for visually impaired and sighted people. This game challenges both visually impaired and blind players, as well as sighted players, together. Both hemispheres of the brain are active. Both the sense of touch and memory are trained. But how can you remember where which part of the penguin family is hiding? And if a snowstorm comes up, ... Contents • 8 penguin fathers (irregular quadrilaterals with a point to the left) • 8 penguin mothers (irregular quadrilaterals with a point to the right) • 8 penguin children (pentagons) • 1 snowstorm (1 white pentagon with a milled snowflake) • 1 cold stone • 1 icicle (triangle) • 1 ice crack (square) • 1 ice hole (hexagon) To minimize slipping of the game pieces during tactile exploration, we recommend a rough surface (cloth tablecloth, anti-slip mat for the bathtub or for washing up).

Polar Night Game Rules

The game includes 8 penguin families (father, mother, child). All three have a different shape that is easy to feel. Since it is polar night, no one can see anything, not even the penguins. To always find each other, they had an idea: Each family wore something different: sweaters with a specific color and surface texture: made of cork, velvet, textured film, metallic film, sand color, etc. .. Each card has a unique surface that can be explored by touch. The different textures allow players to recognize and pair the cards without relying on sight. Whether you play alone or with friends and family - our memory game for the blind is an entertaining and challenging way to train your memory skills while having fun! At the South Pole there is a penguin colony that is different from others: An experienced penguin veteran remembers: “Years ago we were a completely normal penguin colony. As everywhere else at the South Pole, the polar night always brought great trouble: As soon as the sun had set for months, the great chaos began. Sometimes it's so dark in the polar night that you can't see a wing in front of your eyes. For many months. Of course, it happened that eggs were confused. The poor mothers despaired. In the darkness, you could hear them screaming as they searched for their children. It got particularly bad when the snowstorm swept through the colony and made everything even more terribly chaotic. Most of the time, the many families had no choice but to endure the bitterly cold darkness separately. But even when the fantastic aurora borealis lit up the sky and later twilight set in, announcing the end of the polar night, there were problems finding each other: Penguins all look the same: white and black. The searching and complaining would probably have gone on forever, had not one day Karlotta, the clever daughter of the Polarowski family, come up with a brilliant idea. She had puzzled for so long until she came up with the idea of knitting sweaters. She quickly asked her mom to knit sweaters for the family members in the same color with the same fluffy wool. Soon Karlotta's family was wearing bright blue sweaters. Although the night still swallowed the colors, Karlotta could now feel her mom and dad by the soft sweater wool. Soon other families also noticed how practical the Polarowski sweaters were. To avoid new mix-ups, it was agreed that each family should choose a different material for their clothes. It became a real creative competition: One family invented the first cork-laundry, another built itself an armor of cold metal, a third slipped into expensive velvet clothes. Karlotta received a medal and a huge barrel of herring. Her family is very proud of their little heroine. Since then, after every polar night, there is no more long searching. We love to pass the time in the dark by spelling words. In this way, we become not only the smartest, but also the happiest colony at the South Pole. Perhaps it is also because my penguins no longer have to freeze so terribly.” Click here for the video
