FAQ

What do I need to play?

The game was designed for the Merge Cube but it’s not required to play. Just choose the “Standard Mode” or Merge has a printable version of the cube to help with remote learning.

How long is the game?

It depends on your choices, but approximately 1 hour for a single play through. Of course, you can always go back through the story again, making different choices to try and reach a different outcome.

Is it safe for kids?

57° North is designed for ages 10 and up. While there is nothing objectionable content-wise, the story is about surviving in the wilderness, so can be dramatic and intense at times. We’ve found that 10 is a great age, but teenagers and adults seem to love it just as much as kids.

Is it available in any other languages?

At this time it is only available in English. If you would like to see it translated into another language, send us an email at info@mightycoconut.com. If we get enough requests we’ll do our best to translate it.

What is the Merge Cube?

The Merge cube is the world’s first holographic object. Featured recently in New York Magazine, Venture Beat, and Buzzfeed, the Merge Cube is a powerful and affordable device which merges physical and digital worlds using augmented reality technology and the powerful camera and sensors in your mobile device. For more information, see the Merge Cube website. To use it with 57° North, just choose the merge cube mode, place the cube in front of your device and rotate it to play.

What is VR Mode?

The game is also compatible with the Merge Goggles: https://mergevr.com/goggles Just choose Merge VR mode from the app and slide your smartphone into the front of the device, then you can look through the goggles at the cube without even thinking about the phone. If you don’t have the Merge Goggles, then just choose standard or merge cube mode.

I’m having issues…

If the issue is with the Merge Cube, you should contact their support team. If there is a problem with the game itself, you can submit a request via the iTunes Store / Google Play, or email info@mightycoconut.com.
