There is probably no child who would not know Paw Patrol. In our home, Ryder and his brave crew of puppies have a special place in the hearts of children and, more recently, on the TV screen. When Wiktorek (5 years old) and Alex (9 years old) sat down together to play the game "Paw Patrol: We're Going to Help", I knew that quite an adventure was in store. But what happened exceeded my wildest expectations – instead of a calm educational game, we had a real family show full of laughter, misunderstandings and brilliant lyrics.

First contact with the game – who's in charge?

PAW Patrol: Go to Help is the perfect choice for younger players. It starts simple: choose your favorite pup and help complete missions such as rescuing animals, putting out fires, or digging up buried paths. Sounds calm, doesn't it? But when two brothers with completely different temperaments sit at the controls, it gets really fun.

Alex, as an older and more experienced player, immediately took the initiative: "Wiktor, I'll explain everything to you. You just listen." To which Wiktorek, with the pride and stubbornness of a five-year-old, replied: "You don't have to tell me, I know how to control Chase!" Of course, a moment later, Chase... fell into the river. "See? I told you not to run so fast!" – Alex commented, but Wiktorek didn't care, because "it wasn't his fault, the bridge was too slippery."

Missions and challenges – everyone plays their own way

The game's missions are simple and intuitive, making it a great option for younger children. But Wiktorek had his own ideas on how to play. Instead of following instructions, he decided... see what happens when Zuma starts swimming in circles for five minutes. "Look, Alex, I'm making waves! Maybe the shark will come!" Alex, of course, tried to convince him that there were no sharks in the game, but Wiktorek was in his own world. "You never know what Ryder hid at the end of the map," he said with such seriousness that it was hard not to smile.

Sometimes the challenges of the game became a test of cooperation for them. When one of the missions required Chase and Rubble to work together to unlock the passage, Alex began to explain, "Victor, you need to jump on the platform first, and I'll help you with the rope." But Victor had other plans: "First, I'll see if Chase can jump backwards!" After a few minutes, Alex sighed and said, "Ryder should fire you!" – which caused a burst of laughter.

Alex – older brother and patient instructor

Alex, although older, quickly understood that there was no point in fighting Wiktorek's creativity. Instead, he began to explain the rules in his own style: "Wiktor, Ryder said you have to listen. If you don't help Marshall, the Mayor's chicken will fall off the roof!" Fortunately, this vision convinced his younger brother and he went into action with new enthusiasm. But even then, there was a comment: "Only, Alex, don't tell Marshall that I saved him. He managed on his own."

However, Alex's patience was worth its weight in gold, especially in difficult moments. When Victor couldn't find his way to the next point of the mission, Alex calmly explained: "Always follow the pawprints. It's not a maze, it's a game for kids!" To which Wiktorek proudly replied: "But I want to find a secret passage!"

A game that entertains and teaches

PAW Patrol: We're Going to Help is a great game not only for fans of the series, but also for parents who want their children to learn cooperation, logical thinking and patience. In our case, the game has also become a tool for building relationships between brothers. Alex not only had to explain the rules, but also sometimes give way to the younger one, which – let's be honest – is a challenge for a nine-year-old.

The game offers a variety of missions, and each pup has its own unique abilities. Chase uses his rope launcher, Rubble uses his excavator, and Zuma swims, which requires players to adapt to different tasks. For Victor, it was the perfect opportunity to practice his motor coordination, and for Alex, to show patience when his little brother stubbornly tried to "see if Rubble could climb a tree." (Answer: he can't, but it took Wiktorek five tries to be sure.)

A family comedy at full speed

The biggest winner in this game was me – sitting on the sidelines, I could watch as the boys turned a simple game into a real spectacle. Alex, who tried to bring order time and time again, and Wiktorek, who constantly caused chaos, created a duo that Ryder could envy them.

When Victor panicked because Rocky was stuck on the footbridge, Alex reassured him like a real big brother: "Don't worry, Victor. Rocky never gives up. You just have to press this button... O he who shines green." Wiktorek replied with delight: "Alex, you really know everything about the Paw Patrols!"

Reflections: games that connect

Watching these two made me realize how important such moments together are. Video games can be more than just entertainment – they are a way to build relationships, learn to work together, and experience emotions together. Alex, with his patience, and Wiktorek, with his unfettered imagination, showed me that even the simplest game can become a tool for building relationships.

Paw Patrol: We're Coming to the Rescue is a game that fits perfectly into the needs of younger children, while offering older children a bit of a challenge – especially if they are trying to play with younger siblings. For me, it's also an opportunity to see how the boys learn from each other, laugh together, and – most importantly – spend time together.

And you? Do your children (or siblings) play "Paw Patrol"? Who is your leader and who causes chaos? Share your stories – any anecdote is welcome!
