Official description
Petch, the plucky little penguin, has amassed a fortune in diamonds which he stores for safe-keeping in a fenced enclosure that was once the garden of an old Eskimo hunter. The ice blocks from the Eskimo's igloo have been scattered about the garden, forming an intricate maze. Petch has hidden his diamonds amongst these huge ice cubes, hoping that any intruders who manage to enter the enclosure will be unable to discover his treasure. Unfortunately for Petch, the climate is becoming warmer, causing some of the ice cubes to melt and the eggs that were hidden inside them to hatch. The eggs produce two types of Arctic monster: the Snowbow and the Snowbox. The Snowbox is the most dangerous ot the two: he has a voracious appetite and is able to eat his way through the icy walls of the maze. However, both types of monster are carriers of the killer Arctic disease, invariably fatal to penguins - the Common Cold! Therefore, Petch must be careful not to come into contact with either the Snowbow or Snowbox unless the deadly germs are first inactivated.
