I'm not familiar with mini star adventurer, but I have some experience with telescopes and polar alignment. Can you give me some information about the field of view of your polar scope? I'm thinking that you might be able to match this FOV in planetarium software (I use Sky Safari, but there are many others.) and then use the software to identify the field by the star patterns. Will take a bit of practice, but should work.
Use a green laser pointer to hit Polaris. Then align.
