It is aimed primarily at pre-school age children, but will provide hours of entertainment for children (and adults!) of all ages. Helping to develop vocabulary, fine motor skills, co-ordination and creative thinking, Make a Scene offers a great way for children to play and learn at the same time. Make a Scene Polar Adventure uses drag and drop interactions, descriptive audio, fun sound effects and engaging animations to create an entertaining, educational platform. Children will have endless fun using their imagination to create their very own polar scenes. - WHY CHILDREN LOVE IT TOO! The game features lots of fun stickers typically found in the polar regions including eskimos, whales, penguins, polar bears and much more. By dragging and dropping these digital, animated ‘stickers’ onto the different backgrounds available, your child can create a large number of unique scenes. A clear voice-over reads the name of each item aloud, and is accompanied by fun animations and sound effects where possible. Make a Scene recreates the popular ‘fuzzy felts’ and sticker books in an interactive digital product. - NO MORE ARGUMENTS! Are your children always arguing over who’s turn it is to use the tablet/phone? We have added multi-touch to our apps so that children can add or move multiple stickers. Great for playing along with children or allowing multiple children to play simultaneously without arguments about whose turn it is! - SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS As parents, we’ve all been there… your child has created a work of art and you would love to proudly display it on Facebook or simply send copies to family. This is of course difficult without getting the camera, scanner or photocopier out!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Load the Ark holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Load the Ark has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Make a Scene's written reviews are positive against 83% of Load the Ark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Make a Scene ships an update every 27 months, Load the Ark every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
