During the game, every pony can return to the kingdom of Equestria, choosing from any one of the Mane Six. Also, players will have to work together to tame an unstable magic that has set the cloud city of Zephyr Heights out of control. Throughout the game, players can take part in replayable minigames, like Pipp’s Photo Shoot, Hitch is on the Trail, and Sunny’s Smoothie Delivery. The game will also feature special collectibles, photo opportunities, and a closet full of accessories, so players can customize their characters. Additionally, A Zephyr Heights Mystery will include the option of two-player co-op.
