The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Polar Plunge is the app version of a game from the Webkinz virtual world and offers players "KinzCash" for use on the website. In this downhill sledding game, players try to go as fast as possible while jumping over obstacles that will slow you down or knock you off your sled. The game is not at all forgiving if you hit an obstacle, even on the easier levels. Younger children will most likely find this game frustrating, while older children may enjoy the challenge. The app asks you to log in to a Webkinz account to transfer the "KinzCash" virtual currency earned during the game. This is a optional, but the account requires the purchase of a Webkinz toy.

Is it any good?
POLAR PLUNGE is the type of game people either love or hate. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of strategy, and although it can be challenging, it may be a little too challenging for younger players. The biggest reason to play seems to be to earn KinzCash to buy virtual items in the Webkinz virtual world. If your children don't have accounts, this game may not be worth the begging you'll have to deal with to sign them up for Webkinz.
