The plot is based on events from different comics, including The Crab with the Golden Claws , Red Rackham’s Treasure , and The Secret of the Unicorn .
The game is a side-scrolling 2D platformer with minor puzzle elements to take out enemies and finding a way to proceed to a next area.
Tintin is able to sneak around, steal keys, hide inside barrels, throw objects, roll, grab ledges, and jump to reach platforms.
Fights are based on stealthy takedowns, but there is also regular melee combat.
In later levels guards are well armed and the player needs to use objects in the environment such as banana peels or wet paint to take them out.
Occasionally there is a level boss.
Tintin can also send Snowy to sneak through gaps or command Haddock to stand on a pressure plate.
The Solo mode starts at a flea market in Belgium where young reporter Tintin buys a model ship.
A collector appears shortly after and tries to buy it from him for ten times the amount.
Intrigued, Tintin is brought to someone knowledgeable who tells him it is a replica of The Unicorn, a triple-masted ship of Charles II's fleet, that was blown up by its own captain when it was attacked by the Red Rackham in 1676.
Tintin wants to find out why the captain sunk his own ship and finds a document inside the model, but the collector returns and sneakily steals the ship from him.
With help from Snowy he tracks down the collector's house and from there the quest to unravel the secret of The Unicorn kicks off.
He ends up at the ship SS Karaboudjan where he meets Captain Haddock.
From there they travel to Ben Salaad’s Palace, then to Bagghar, a fictional port city in Morroco, and finally back to the home town of Marli
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks The Adventures of Tintin: The Game for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Adventures of Tintin: The Game to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2011.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Adventures of Tintin: The Game, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
