How to split the roles

When one of you plays more than the other: who takes which seat in PAW Patrol World, and why.

Based on the store listing only. We found no official guide or manual that goes further than the store page, so the advice below stays general.

P1 · For the more experienced player

The pup whose skill the mission needs

Each pup has unique skills.

P2 · For the newer player

Any pup

Missions are designed for pre-school players.

Skill-gap friendly · higher is easier

4out of 5

The whole game is designed for pre-school players.

Official help aimed at a weaker or newer player: assist or beginner mode, a support seat, a way to carry or rescue a partner, or a game built for young children. No sourced invulnerability.

Easy to coordinate · higher is easier

3out of 3 · Easy

Split-screen lets each player explore.
