Prepare you earmuffs and mittens because Farm Frenzy is back and this time they have chosen a slightly chillier location! In Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age, Scarlet is back after deciding that due to strained economical times in the West, opening an arctic farm could be a good investment!

As with all Time Management games, the aim of the game is to make money, and in Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age, it’s done in a very simple way; By feeding the penguins they produce eggs which you can either sell or use to make egg powder, which you can also sell or use to make cookies. The cookies in turn can also be sold or used to make cakes. Sounds easy, right?

Things get hectic rather quickly and each level adds another challenge. From very early on you need to juggle feeding the penguins, collecting their eggs, baking cookies and cakes, ordering flour via helicopter, keeping track on warehouse space and delivering your produce by sled to buyers. All this whilst protecting your farm animals from evil predators looking for an easy lunch!
