## What is The Bear Chapters?

Companion app to The Bear Who Touched The Northern Lights story box
/!\ The story box is required to use this app /!\

Use this app to activate The Bear Who Touched The Northern Lights (TBWTTNL) story cards. Uncover a rich story in the Frozen Lands and embark on a quest to play with the Northern Lights! This story (and app) is designed for little humans 4 to 9 years old and can be played without adult guidance (except during the first play to guide them on how to scan cards to reveal the story).

Each story card from TBWTTNL can be scanned with this app and will come to life in Augmented Reality. The illustrations will animate with unique hand-drawn animations, narration and sound design. As you play through the different cards, the whole story will unveil, revealing unexpected story elements.

Choices play a big part in this experience:
- the story branches based on what story card is activated and in what order. Of course, if you connect the story cards together first, everything will make more sense!
- As you play through, you’ll have to choose between items to help our cute little polar bear on his journey - the choices you make influence what happens!
