An otter who can't brake, a map of frozen lakes that thaw one neighbour at a time, and a postcard home from every den hole Whisk dives into.

How the ice works

Push off. Slide. Think first.

Whisk only stops when something gets in the way, so every lake is a little map of stopping places. Find the order of glides that passes every lantern and ends with a dive into the den.

01

One swipe, one glide

Swipe in any of four directions and Whisk belly-slides in a straight line until a boulder, a floe block or the shore ends it.

02

Lanterns, then the den

Sliding over a lantern lights it. Dive into the den hole and a postcard goes home with your glides against par.

03

Take it back

Undo is free and unlimited, a cold plunge only costs you the glide, and a nudge shows the next push when you need it.

The Icefold

A map that thaws as you go

Home is one tall map of frozen lakes. Clear a lake and the glide paths beside it thaw open, so there is always a choice of where to go next, and the map keeps a single count: lanterns lit across the whole region.

Whisk's den
  • Reedbank ShallowsPlain glassy ice and frozen boulders. Learn where each glide will stop.
  • Glasswater NarrowsPale ice holds you once, then cracks into open water as you leave it.
  • Drift MeadowsSoft drifts stop you mid-lake and get trampled flat for good.
  • Floe QuarryShove blocks of ice across the lake; into water they freeze in as bridges.
  • Gustway HeightsWind lanes swing Whisk onto a new heading halfway through a glide.
Back at the den

Postcards, coats and a weathervane

The journal

Every lake sends one postcard: a little picture of the ice, your glides against par, the lanterns you lit, and a rosette when the lantern route came in at or under par. Beat it later and the card is rewritten.

The wardrobe

Clear a whole region and new things hang on the pegs: knitted coats, glide trails and painted shores for the rink. Nothing is for sale; the ice pays for everything.

Weathervane Lake

Each day the vane by the den swings toward a fresh, larger lake, the same one for everybody. Post a card from it on consecutive days to keep a streak going.
