How to Play with PAW Patrol Air Rescue Pup Squad Airport Playset

Quick answer

To get the most fun from the PAW Patrol Air Rescue Pup Squad Adventure Bay Airport Playset, set up the tower and runway first, then use the mission monitor to launch rescue scenarios with the included Chase Pup Squad Racer.

Step-by-step play guide

1. 1. Build the base and tower: Assemble the playset on a flat surface, locking the radar tower into the base. Make sure the elevator and ramp are free of packaging tape. Check that the elevator moves smoothly before starting play; sticky parts can frustrate young kids.
2. 2. Place Humdinger on the radar tower: Use the included figure or any small PAW Patrol character to act as Humdinger stuck on the tower. This creates the rescue prompt. If you lose the original figure, a small toy from another set works just as well.
3. 3. Attach the Chase Pup Squad Racer to the launch position: Line up the car with the track or elevator clip and press down until you hear a click. Do not force it sideways. If the car won't click, check that the wheels are aligned with the grooves.
4. 4. Activate the mission monitor: Press the button or turn the dial on the command center to light up the monitor. Narrate the emergency: 'Humdinger is on the radar tower!' Let your child decide the mission details to encourage creative storytelling.
5. 5. Launch the rescue: Send the Chase car up the ramp or elevator toward the radar tower. Pretend the car's net or winch lifts Humdinger to safety. If the car stalls, check that the wheels are not blocked by debris or loose clothing.
6. 6. Rotate play areas: After the rescue, move Chase to the runway for a takeoff scene or back to the command center for a new mission. Rotating areas prevents boredom. Store the car and figures in the base when not in use to avoid losing small pieces.
