A gripping adventure at the Lakeside Riding Stable full of challenging mystery-solving fun, spirited gallop racing and lots of other thrilling quests for horse and rider awaits horse fans both big and small. The popular horses from Schleich® and the environment they live in come alive in the video game “Horse Club™ Adventures”. Children from the ages of 6 to 12 can romp and roam freely and creatively in this open-world game. In turn, the electrifying story inspires imaginative playing with the characters.

With release for “Horse Club™ Adventures” scheduled for May 2021, video game publisher Wild River Games from Munich is bringing out the first video game based on the popular theme world created by Schleich, the world-renowned toy manufacturer. The lovingly designed open-world game provides a multifaceted blend of adventure, role-playing and racing elements coupled with all sorts of mystery-solving fun.

Eventful vacation at the Lakeside Riding Stable
In the video game the children spend their vacation at Lakeside and become part of the Horse Club™ clique revolving around Hannah, Sarah, Sofia and Lisa. Together they reveal long-guarded secrets, complete exciting quests, and collect objects such as photos and stickers. It goes without saying that the appearance of the player avatars and their horses can be individually customized. While doing so, even the clothing for brand-new game characters is provided that won’t become available at toy retailers until July 2021.

Carrying out quests in a targeted fashion or exploring the open-world game
The single-player game can be played optionally in the storyline or the freestyle mode. The storyline mode is split up into 16 days and has over 40 quests ready and waiting to be completed. They range from getting acquainted with Lakeside to being accepted into the Horse Club™ clique, all the way to participating in the big Lakeside Tournament.

In the freestyle game mode the player explores the extensive terrain on their own. Optional sidequests enable kids to immerse themselves even deeper in the story and, among other activities, attend to daily chores such as grooming horses and scraping hooves, or galloping on one of the numerous race courses while competing with others for high scores and medals. The developers have placed a special focus on the collecting of stickers, photos and new items with which players can individually change their game character and horse.

Figures from Schleich have stood for quality and educationally worthwhile playing for more than 85 years. The video game from Wild River Games equally orients itself in alignment with these values. The highly diversified virtual world including numerous different quests still has surprises in store, even after playing repeated games. This ensures long-lasting gaming fun for children in a variety of age groups and with different levels of experience. What arises due to the symbiosis of video game and the original Schleich figures is a balance comprised of a digital and tactile game.
