Features
Here are the key features that make this set distinctive:
1. App-led / Mission-based building
Instead of only following static instructions, kids get digital missions with narrative, challenges that require them to adapt or customise builds for different rescue tasks. This makes the building experience more dynamic.
2. Customisable core model (truck)
The truck is designed so that its build can be adapted based on mission needs (e.g. add or change accessories) to rescue different animals.
3. Rich selection of animal figures
It includes several wild animals (baby crocodile, panther cub, hare, frog, owl) which are fun for variety and role-play. It helps to create rescue scenarios in different environments.
4. Lots of accessories / small role-play tools
Tools like nets, binoculars, cameras, etc. add realism to the rescue mission and allow children to act out details in their play.
5. Instruction-free / creative challenge
Some of the building / solving is “instruction-free” in the sense that children will have to think how to modify or build based on mission goals rather than following fixed step by step instructions for everything. This encourages creativity and problem solving.
6. Portable / display-friendly size
The core vehicle is a modest size so it fits easily into play scenes or can be moved around. The animals & accessories make the set extend the play beyond just the truck.

Benefits
Here are what children, and parents, can gain from this set — what developmental, play, and practical benefits are likely:
1. Problem-solving & Critical Thinking
Missions in the app challenge kids to think: how to modify the truck, what attachments or tools might be needed for a particular rescue, where to use which animal figure etc. They plan, test, redesign. This builds thinking skills.
2. Creativity & Imaginative Play
Having wild animals + rescue scenario + mission stories stimulates imagination: kids can invent stories, rescue operations, explore wild habitats, or design their own variations.
3. Fine Motor Skills
Building the vehicle, handling small accessories, manipulating animal figures, etc., develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
4. Tech Integration & Digital Literacy
Use of the app helps kids navigate digital instructions / interactive missions. They practice following on-screen guidance, decision-making in digital + physical space.
5. Sense of Ownership & Active Participation
Because they lead the missions, decide how to build / modify things, the child is not just following but directing play. That gives more engagement and satisfaction.
6. Animal Education / Empathy
Playing with animal figures (especially wild ones) can help children learn about animals, habitats, care, rescue; promotes empathy / interest in wildlife.
7. Replay Value
Having multiple missions, multiple animals, accessories, customisable parts gives room for repeated play. They can replay missions or invent new ones.
8. Gift-worthy & Moderate Price / Size
At 246 pieces, it's substantial enough to feel like a good set but not overwhelming. Good for children around 6+. Also good as a gift set.
9. Encourages Creativity Over Repetition
Because of the app-missions and “adaptivity”, kids are encouraged not just to build one fixed model, but to improvise, change things. This helps avoid boredom after one build.
