Zen Arctic is a polar exploration runner — guide an arctic explorer across ice floes, dodge polar bears and blizzards, and collect fish and berries to stay alive. City leaderboards show who has survived the cold longest today.
💡 Tips & Strategy▾
Account for ice slip. Jump slightly earlier than you think — the slippery ice means you travel further per jump than on dry ground.
Blizzards reduce visibility. After 300m blizzards appear. Stay centred and listen for audio cues when visibility drops.
Collect the thermos (☕). Hot drink collectibles restore one star and give a brief speed boost. Always worth a detour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zen Arctic free?
Yes. Completely free.
Why does my character slide?
The arctic ice surface causes your character to slide slightly further per jump. Jump a fraction earlier than normal to compensate.
